Divyāstrāṇāṃ Pradarśana-nivāraṇa
Display of Divine Weapons and Its Prohibition
ततो वर्ष प्रादुरभूत् सुमहल्लोमहर्षणम् । अस्त्राणां घोररूपाणामन्नेर्वायोस्तथाश्मनाम्,फिर तो भयानक अस्त्रोंकी तथा अग्नि, वायु और पत्थरोंकी बड़ी भारी वर्षा होने लगी जो रोंगटे खड़े कर देनेवाली थी
tato varṣaḥ prādurabhūt sumahallomaharṣaṇam | astrāṇāṁ ghorarūpāṇām agnervāyostathāśmanām ||
मग एक अत्यंत भयंकर, अंगावर काटा आणणारी महावर्षा प्रकट झाली—घोर रूपाच्या अस्त्रांची, तसेच अग्नी, वारा आणि दगडांचीही.
