Adhyāya 22: Śālva’s Weapon-Shower, Dāruka’s Wounding, and the Māyā-Report of Vasudeva’s Father
ततो लोकान्तकरणो दानवो दारुणाकृति: । शिलावर्षेण महता सहसा मां समावृणोत्,तत्पश्चात् लोकान्तकारी भयंकर आकृतिवाले दानवने आकर सहसा पत्थरोंकी भारी वर्षकि द्वारा मुझे आवृत कर दिया
tato lokāntakaraṇo dānavo dāruṇākṛtiḥ | śilāvarṣeṇa mahatā sahasā māṃ samāvṛṇot ||
Rồi một Dānava hình thù ghê rợn—kẻ gieo tai họa tận diệt—bất thần ập đến, trùm phủ ta bằng một trận mưa đá khổng lồ.
