4.11.3

vālinaḥ pauruṣaṃ yat tad yac ca vīryaṃ dhṛtiś ca yā
tan mamaikamanāḥ śrutvā vidhatsva yadanantaram

'I doubt not, Prince, thy peerless might,
Armed with these shafts so keen and bright,
Like all-destroying fires of fate,
The worlds could burn and devastate.
But lend thou first thy mind and ear
Of Báli's power and might to hear.

On restless errand hunting forth,
