ततो निश्चक्रमुर्देवा वेपमाना नता: सम ते । पुनश्न संदधे दीप्तान्‌ देवानां निशिताउशरान्‌,तदनन्तर सारे देवता नतमस्तक हो भयसे थरथर काँपते हुए यज्ञशालासे बाहर निकल गये। तब भगवान्‌ शिवने देवताओंको लक्ष्य करके तीखे और तेजस्वी बाणोंका संधान किया

Transliteration

tato niścakramur devā vepamānā natāḥ samāḥ | punaś ca sandadhe dīptān devānāṃ niśitān śarān ||

Translation

Then the gods, trembling with fear and bowing low in submission, came out. Immediately thereafter, Śiva fixed upon them sharp, blazing arrows—an image that underscores how even the mighty are held accountable when pride or disorder threatens the moral balance upheld by sacrifice and cosmic law.
