अनालब्धं जृम्भति गाण्डिवं धनुरनालब्धा कम्पति मे धनुर्ज्या । बाणाश्च मे तूणमुखाद्विसृज्य मुहुर्मुहुर्गन्तुमुशन्ति चैव॥५-४७-९६॥
Without being taken up, the Gāṇḍīva bow seems to tense; without being grasped, my bowstring trembles. And my arrows, as if loosed from the mouth of the quiver, again and again appear eager to go forth.
english translation
सैक्यः कोशान्निःसरति प्रसन्नो हित्वेव जीर्णामुरगस्त्वचं स्वाम् । ध्वजे वाचो रौद्ररूपा वदन्ति कदा रथो योक्ष्यते ते किरीटिन्॥५-४७-९७॥
The sword slips from its sheath, bright and clear, like a serpent casting off its worn skin. From the banner, fierce-sounding voices seem to speak: “When will your chariot be yoked, O Kirīṭin?”
english translation
गोमायुसंघाश्च वदन्ति रात्रौ रक्षांस्यथो निष्पतन्त्यन्तरिक्षात् । मृगाः शृगालाः शितिकण्ठाश्च काका गृध्रा बडाश्चैव तरक्षवश्च॥५-४७-९८॥
At night, packs of jackals cry out, and rākṣasas too seem to dart across the sky. Deer, jackals, dark-necked crows, vultures, herons, and hyenas are seen as well.
english translation
सुपर्णपाताश्च पतन्ति पश्चाद्दृष्ट्वा रथं श्वेतहयप्रयुक्तम् । अहं ह्येकः पार्थिवान्सर्वयोधाञ्शरान्वर्षन्मृत्युलोकं नयेयम्॥५-४७-९९॥
And birds of prey descend behind, having seen the chariot drawn by white horses. For I alone, showering arrows, could send all warrior-kings to the realm of death.
english translation
समाददानः पृथगस्त्रमार्गान्यथाग्निरिद्धो गहनं निदाघे । स्थूणाकर्णं पाशुपतं च घोरं तथा ब्रह्मास्त्रं यच्च शक्रो विवेद॥५-४७-१००॥
Taking up distinct courses of weaponry, like a fire kindled in the dry season consuming a thicket, I would employ the Sthūṇākarṇa, the formidable Pāśupata, and the Brahmāstra which even Śakra knows.
