Shloka 34
तत् समासाद्य नगरं सौभं व्यपगतत्विषम् । मध्येन पाटयामास क्रकचो दार्विवोच्छितम्,उस दिव्यास्त्रने सौभनगरमें पहुँचकर उसे श्रीहीन कर दिया और जैसे आरा ऊँचे काठको चीर डालता है, उसी प्रकार सौभविमानको बीचसे काट डाला
tat samāsādya nagaraṃ saubhaṃ vyapagatatviṣam | madhyena pāṭayāmāsa krakaco dārvivocchitam ||
风神说道：“它抵达名为苏婆（Saubha）的城时，先夺去其光华；继而如锯裂高大木材一般，将苏婆的空中堡垒从正中劈开。”

Brilliant, oppressive power is not invincible: when it stands against rightful order, it can be stripped of its ‘tviṣ’ (splendor) and decisively broken. The verse uses the saw-simile to stress the certainty and precision with which dharmically sanctioned force can dismantle wrongful might.
The speaker (Vāyu-deva) describes reaching Saubha, making it lose its radiance, and then cleaving the Saubha stronghold through the middle—likened to a saw cutting through a tall pile of wood.
