इदमस्त्रं सुदयितं प्रत्यभिज्ञास्यते भवान् । विदितं हि तवाप्येतत्पूर्वस्मिन्देहधारणे॥५-१८४-११॥
You will recognize this weapon as one especially dear to you. Indeed, it was known to you as well in a former embodiment.
english translation
प्राजापत्यं विश्वकृतं प्रस्वापं नाम भारत । न हीदं वेद रामोऽपि पृथिव्यां वा पुमान्क्वचित्॥५-१८४-१२॥
It is a Prajāpati-derived weapon, fashioned by Viśvakṛt, named Prasvāpa (“Induced Sleep”), O Bhārata. Neither Rāma himself nor any man anywhere on earth knows of it.
english translation
तत्स्मरस्व महाबाहो भृशं संयोजयस्व च । न च रामः क्षयं गन्ता तेनास्त्रेण नराधिप॥५-१८४-१३॥
Therefore remember it, O mighty-armed one, and apply it with full precision. Rāma will not go to destruction by that weapon, O ruler of men.

एनसा च न योगं त्वं प्राप्स्यसे जातु मानद । स्वप्स्यते जामदग्न्योऽसौ त्वद्बाणबलपीडितः॥५-१८४-१४॥
And by this act you will never incur demerit, O giver of honor. That Jāmadagnya will fall asleep, constrained by the force of your arrows.
english translation
ततो जित्वा त्वमेवैनं पुनरुत्थापयिष्यसि । अस्त्रेण दयितेनाजौ भीष्म संबोधनेन वै॥५-१८४-१५॥
Then, having overcome him, you yourself will rouse him again—on the field of battle—by means of that dear weapon, through an awakening invocation, O Bhīṣma.
