6.28
yo haniṣyati vadhyaṃ tvāṃ rakṣyaṃ rakṣiṣyati dvijam /
haṃso hi kṣīram ādatte tanmiśrā varjayaty apaḥ //
(ity astraṃ saṃdhatte)
My arrow, flying when the bow is bent,
Shall slay the wretch and spare the innocent;
When milk is mixed with water in a cup,
Swans leave the water, and the milk drink up.
