guṇaṃ trivṛttaṃ ca cakāra roṣād ādatta divye ca dhanurguṇaṃ ca | tataś ca pūṣṇo daśanān avidhyad bhagasya netre vṛṣaṇau kratoś ca || 33.10 ||
క్రోధంతో అతడు మూడుసార్లు ముడిచిన ధనుర్జ్యను తయారు చేసి, దివ్య ధనుర్గుణాన్ని కూడా ధరించాడు. ఆపై పూషన్ దంతాలను విరిచాడు, భగుని నేత్రాలను ఛేదించాడు, క్రతువు వృషణాలను గాయపరిచాడు।
