Sanskrit Original
युगपद् दिक्षु सर्वासु सर्वाण्स्त्राणि दर्शयन्। आददातुं महाराज संदधानं च पाण्डवम्॥ उत्कर्षन्तं सृजन्तं च न स्म पश्याम लाघवात्। ततः क्रुद्धो महाबाहुरैन्द्रमस्रं दुरासदम्॥ प्रादुश्चक्रे महाराज त्रासयन् सर्वभारतान्। ततः शराः प्रादुरासन् दिव्यास्रप्रतिमन्त्रिताः॥ प्रदीप्ताश्च शिखिमुखा: शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः। आकर्णपूर्णनिर्मुक्तैरग्न्याशुनिभैः शरैः॥
Displaying inighty weapons and simultaneously showing his presence in all the different directions. O mighty monarch, indeed we could not then discern when the son of Pandu took out his arrows, placed them on the bowstring, drew the string hack and let them off, so great was his lightness of hands. Thereafter the mighty-armed one, excited to the highest pitch of fury, invoked into existence the terrible Indra weapon and mighty monarch thereby inspired the Bharatas with terror. Hundreds and thousands of blazing arrows, of fiery heads and inspired with Mantras then began to start up into existence. Then with those shafts, shot from a string drawn back to the ear the resembling the rays of the sun or the flame of fire.
