समार्गणगुणं चापं छित्त्वा तस्यप महानसि: । निपपात ततो भूमौ च्युत: सर्प इवाम्बरात्,उनकी वह लंबी तलवार दुःशासनके धनुष, बाण और प्रत्यंचाकों काटकर आकाशसे भ्रष्ट हुए सर्पकी भाँति वहाँ पृथ्वीपर गिर पड़ी
Transliteration
samārgaṇaguṇaṃ cāpaṃ chittvā tasya mahān asiḥ | nipapāta tato bhūmau cyutaḥ sarpa ivāmbarāt ||
Translation
ਉਸ ਮਹਾਨ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਚੰਗੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਤਾਣਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਧਨੁਸ਼—ਬਾਣਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਤ੍ਯੰਚਾ ਸਮੇਤ—ਕੱਟ ਦਿੱਤਾ; ਫਿਰ ਉਹ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਤੋਂ ਡਿੱਗੇ ਸੱਪ ਵਾਂਗ ਧਰਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਆ ਡਿੱਗੀ।
