रावणस्य तु ते ऽमात्याः प्रहस्तशुकसारणाः । कार्तवीर्यबलं क्रुद्धा निर्दहन्ति स्म तेजसा ॥ 7-32-36 ॥

But Ravana's ministers, Prahasta, Shuka, and Sarana, in their fury consumed the army of Kartavirya with their fiery valour.

english translation

अर्जुनाय तु तत्कर्म रावणस्य समन्त्रिणः । क्रीडमानाय कथितं पुरुषैर्द्वाररक्षिभिः ॥ 7-32-37 ॥

Then that deed of Ravana together with his ministers was reported to Arjuna, who was disporting himself, by the men who guarded the gateway.

english translation

श्रुत्वा न भेतव्यमिति स्त्रीजनं तं ततो ऽर्जुनः । उत्ततार जलात्तस्माद्गङ्गातोयादिवाञ्जनः ॥ 7-32-38 ॥

Having heard it, Arjuna reassured the womenfolk, saying 'Do not be afraid,' and then he rose up out of that water like the sun rising from the waters of the Ganga.

english translation

क्रोधदूषितनेत्रस्तु स ततो ऽर्जुनपावकः । प्रजज्वाल महाघोरो युगान्त इव पावकः ॥ 7-32-39 ॥

Then that Arjuna, a very fire, his eyes inflamed with anger, blazed forth most terribly like the fire that consumes the world at the end of an age.

english translation

स तूर्णतरमादाय वरहेमाङ्गदो गदाम् । अभिदुद्राव रक्षांसि तमांसीव दिवाकरः ॥ 7-32-40 ॥

He, adorned with fine golden armlets, swiftly seized his mace and rushed upon the rakshasas, as the sun rushes upon the darkness.
