Arjuna and the Hunter 3.56

3.56

athābhipaśyann iva vidviṣaḥ puraḥ purodhasāropitahetisaṃhatiḥ
babhāra ramyo 'pi vapuḥ sa bhīṣaṇaṃ gataḥ kriyāṃ mantra ivābhicārikīm //

Then, as if seeing his enemies before him, / with the host of weapons strapped on by the family priest, / though handsome, he assumed a terrifying form, / like a mantra that has turned into a destructive rite.
