Brahmanda Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 36 · Verse 179
Sanskrit Original
महायोगं महात्मानं दुर्द्धर्षममरैरपि। अलबन्ती तु सा त्राणं वैन्यमेवान्वपद्यत।।
mahāyogaṃ mahātmānaṃ durddharṣamamarairapi| alabantī tu sā trāṇaṃ vainyamevānvapadyata||
Sūta Narrated: Taking the bow with him, Pṛthu pursued her (i.e. the Earth in the form of a cow) as she ran. Afraid of the son of Vena, she went to Brahmā’s world and other worlds as well (but eventually) saw the son of Vena in front of her with the bow in his raised hand. He was shining brilliantly on account of the refulgent sharp arrows. He never failed in his aim (in hitting the target). He was noble-souled with great yogic power. He could not be assailed even by the immortal ones. Unable to get succour from elsewhere, she resorted to the son of Vena himself.
