ततः पुनः शरं दीप्तं सुप्रभं कालसंमितम् ।
असृजं जामदग्न्याय रामायाहं जिघांसया ॥ ५.१८०.२३ ॥
Then again I released a blazing, very brilliant arrow like Time itself at Rāma, son of Jamadagni, with desire to kill him.
5.180.24
तेन त्वभिहतो गाढं बाणवेगवशं गतः ।
मुमोह समरे रामो भूमौ च निपपात ह ॥ ५.१८०.२४ ॥
Struck deeply by it, brought under the power of the arrow's force, Rāma fainted in battle and fell to the ground.
5.180.25
ततो हाहाकृतं कसर्वं रामे भूतलमाश्रिते ।
जगद्भारत संविग्नं यथार्कपतने भवेत् ॥ ५.१८०.२५ ॥
Then, when Rāma had fallen to the ground, a cry of alarm rose everywhere; O Bhārata, the world was shaken as if the sun were falling.
5.180.26
तत एनं समुद्विग्नाः सर्व एवाभिदुद्रुवुः ।
तपोधनास्ते सहसा काश्या च कुरुनन्दन ॥ ५.१८०.२६ ॥
Then all of them, greatly agitated, ran toward him — the ascetics, wealthy in austerity, and Kāśya too, suddenly. O joy of the Kurus!
5.180.27
तत एनं परिष्वज्य शनैराश्वासयंस्तदा ।
पाणिभिर्जलशीतैश्च जयाशीर्भिश्च कौरव ॥ ५.१८०.२७ ॥
Then, embracing him, they gently consoled him with hands cool with water and with blessings of victory. O Kaurava!
5.180.28
ततः स विह्वलं वाक्यं राम उत्थाय चाब्रवीत् ।
तिष्ठ भीष्म हतोऽसीति बाणं संधाय कार्मुके ॥ ५.१८०.२८ ॥
Then, agitated, he rose and spoke: "Stop, Bhīṣma! You are slain!" — and fitting an arrow to the bow.
5.180.29
स मुक्तो न्यपतत्तूर्णं सव्ये पार्श्वे महाहवे ।
येनाहं भृशमुद्विग्रो व्याघूर्णित इव द्रुमः ॥ ५.१८०.२९ ॥
That arrow, released, fell swiftly on my left side in the great battle, so that I was greatly agitated and whirled about like a tree.
5.180.30
हत्वा हयांस्ततो रामः शीघ्रास्त्रेण महाहवे ।
अवाकिरन्मां विस्रब्धो बाणैस्तैर्लोमवाहिभिः ॥ ५.१८०.३० ॥
Then Rāma, in the great battle, slew the horses with a swift weapon and, fearless, showered me with those feathered arrows.
5.180.31
ततोऽहमपि शीघ्रास्त्रं समरप्रतिवारणम् ।
अवासृजं महाबाहो तेन्तराधिष्ठिताः शराः ॥ ५.१८०.३१ ॥
Then I too released the swift weapon, which wards off the assault of battle. O mighty-armed one, with it the arrows placed in between were sent forth.
5.180.32
रामस्य मम चैवाशु व्योमावृत्य समन्ततः ।
न स्म सूर्यः प्रतपति शरजालसमावृतः ॥ ५.१८०.३२ ॥
Swiftly, the arrows of Rāma and of me covered the sky on all sides, and the sun no longer blazed, enveloped by a net of arrows.
5.180.33
मातरिश्वा ततस्तस्मिन्मेघरुद्ध इवाभवत् ।
ततो वायोः प्रकम्पाच्च सूर्यस्य च गभस्तिभिः ॥ ५.१८०.३३ ॥
Then the wind in that sky became as if blocked by clouds; then, from the trembling of the wind and from the sun's rays (in the sky).
5.180.34
अभिघातप्रभावाच्च पावकः समजायत ।
ते शराः स्वसमुत्थेन प्रदीप्ताश्चित्रभानुना ॥ ५.१८०.३४ ॥
And from the power of the impact fire also arose; those arrows, blazing with the wondrous fire born from themselves.
5.180.35
भूमौ सर्वे तदा राजन्भस्मभूताः प्रपेदिरे ।
तदा शतसहस्राणि प्रयुतान्यर्बुदानि च ॥ ५.१८०.३५ ॥
O king, then all of them, reduced to ashes, fell to the ground; then hundreds of thousands, millions and hundred millions (of arrows).
5.180.36
अयुतान्यथ खर्वाणि निखर्वाणि च कौरव ।
रामः शराणां संक्रुद्धो मयि तूर्णं न्यपातयत् ॥ ५.१८०.३६ ॥
Then tens of thousands, billions and hundred billions (of arrows). O Kaurava, Rāma, enraged, swiftly rained down his arrows upon me.
5.180.37
ततोऽहं तानपि रणे शरैराशीविषोपमैः ।
संछिद्य भूमौ नृपते पातयेयं नगानिव ॥ ५.१८०.३७ ॥
Then, O king, in battle I would have cut them down with arrows like venomous snakes and felled them to the ground as one fells trees.
5.180.38
एवं तदभवद्युद्वं तदा भरतसत्तम ।
सन्ध्याकाले व्यतीते तु व्यपायात्स च मे गुरुः ॥ ५.१८०.३८ ॥
Thus, O best of the Bharatas, that battle took place. When twilight had passed, my teacher withdrew from there.
