vīryākaraḥ sutaśatapravibhaktacakṣu-
rdarpodyataḥ kanakayūpavilambabāhuḥ |
sṛṣṭo dhruvaṃ tridivarakṣaṇajātaśaṃkai-
rdevairarātitimirāñjalitāḍitākṣaḥ || 36 ||

A mine of valour, his eyes distributed among his hundred sons,
lifted up with pride, his arms hanging down like golden sacrificial posts—
surely created by the gods who feared for the preservation of heaven,
with his eyes struck by darkness, as if by handfuls of dust, by his enemies! || 36
