ततोऽहं तामिषुभिर्दीप्यमानैः समायान्तीमन्तकालार्कदीप्ताम् । छित्त्वा त्रिधा पातयामास भूमौ ततो ववौ पवनः पुण्यगन्धिः॥५-१८२-६॥
Then I, with blazing arrows, cut that incoming spear—radiant like the sun at the end-time—into three parts and brought it down to the ground; thereafter a wind with a pure fragrance began to blow.
english translation
तस्यां छिन्नायां क्रोधदीप्तोऽथ रामः शक्तीर्घोराः प्राहिणोद्द्वादशान्याः । तासां रूपं भारत नोत शक्यं तेजस्वित्वाल्लाघवाच्चैव वक्तुम्॥५-१८२-७॥
When it had been cut, Rāma—his anger inflamed—sent forth twelve other formidable spears. O Bhārata, their appearance could scarcely be described, due to their brilliance and speed.
english translation
किं त्वेवाहं विह्वलः संप्रदृश्य दिग्भ्यः सर्वास्ता महोल्का इवाग्नेः । नानारूपास्तेजसोग्रेण दीप्ता यथादित्या द्वादश लोकसंक्षये॥५-१८२-८॥
Yet I became momentarily unsettled on seeing them coming from all directions—like great firebrands of flame—of varied forms, blazing with intense radiance, like twelve suns at the dissolution of the world.
english translation
ततो जालं बाणमयं विवृत्य संदृश्य भित्त्वा शरजालेन राजन् । द्वादशेषून्प्राहिणवं रणेऽहं ततः शक्तीर्व्यधमं घोररूपाः॥५-१८२-९॥
Then, O King, I spread out a net of arrows; seeing them, I pierced through with an arrow-net. In the engagement I launched twelve arrows, and then I neutralized those formidable spears.
english translation
ततोऽपरा जामदग्न्यो महात्मा शक्तीर्घोराः प्राक्षिपद्धेमदण्डाः । विचित्रिताः काञ्चनपट्टनद्धा यथा महोल्का ज्वलितास्तथा ताः॥५-१८२-१०॥
Then the great-souled Jāmadagnya hurled other formidable spears with golden shafts—ornamented and bound with golden fittings—blazing like great meteors.
