yenā 'khaṇḍaladantidantamusalāny ākuñcitāny āhave,
dhārā yatra pinākapāṇiparaśor ākuṇṭhitā cā 'hatā,
tan me vakṣa idaṃ nṛsiṃhakarajair āhanyate sāṃprataṃ;
daive durbalatāṃ gate tṛṇam api prāyeṇa vajrāyate. || 5 ||

That [chest of mine] by which the pestle-like tusks of Indra's elephant were bent in battle, / upon which the edge of the axe of the Pināka-wielder was blunted when struck, / that very chest of mine is now torn by Narasiṃha's claws; / when destiny grows weak, even a blade of grass usually turns to a thunderbolt. || 5
