Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Anushasana Parva Chapter 85 · Verse 8
Sanskrit Original
ब्राह्मण उवाच हुताशनो न तत्रासीच्छापकाले सुरोत्तमाः। स उत्पदयितापत्यं वधाय त्रिदशद्विषाम्॥ तद् वै सर्वानतिक्रम्य देवदानवराक्षसान्। मानुषानथ गन्धर्वान् नागानथ च पक्षिणः॥ अस्त्रेणामोघपातेन शक्त्यां तं घातयिष्यति। यतो वो भयमुत्पन्नं ये चान्ये सुरशत्रवः॥
Brahman said You foremost of celestials, Agni was not there at the time the curse was given by the goddess. He will beget a child for the destruction of the enemies of the gods. Superior to all the deities, Danavas, Rakshasas, human beings, Gandharvas. Nagas and feathery creatures, the son of Agni with his dart, which in his hands, will be a weapon incapable of being baffled if once hurled at the enemy, will destroy Taraka whom you fear. Indeed, all other enemies of yours will also be killed by him.
