ततोऽपश्यं जामदग्न्यं रथे दिव्ये व्यवस्थितम् । सर्वायुधधरे श्रीमत्यद्भुतोपमदर्शने॥५-१८०-६॥

Then I saw Jāmadagnya stationed upon a divine chariot—splendid, bearing every weapon, and of a wondrous appearance.

english translation

मनसा विहिते पुण्ये विस्तीर्णे नगरोपमे । दिव्याश्वयुजि संनद्धे काञ्चनेन विभूषिते॥५-१८०-७॥

It was auspicious, fashioned by mind alone, expansive like a city; yoked with divine horses, fully equipped, and adorned with gold.

english translation

ध्वजेन च महाबाहो सोमालंकृतलक्ष्मणा । धनुर्धरो बद्धतूणो बद्धगोधाङ्गुलित्रवान्॥५-१८०-८॥

O mighty-armed one, he bore a banner marked with lunar emblems; he stood as an archer, his quiver fastened and his finger-guard bound with iguana-hide.

english translation

सारथ्यं कृतवांस्तत्र युयुत्सोरकृतव्रणः । सखा वेदविदत्यन्तं दयितो भार्गवस्य ह॥५-१८०-९॥

There, Akṛtavraṇa served as charioteer for Yuyutsu—he was a companion, a consummate knower of the Veda, and exceedingly dear to Bhārgava (Paraśurāma).

english translation

आह्वयानः स मां युद्धे मनो हर्षयतीव मे । पुनः पुनरभिक्रोशन्नभियाहीति भार्गवः॥५-१८०-१०॥

As he repeatedly summoned me to battle, Bhārgava seemed to exhilarate my mind, again and again crying out, “Advance toward me!”
