[Critical notes] / That Daitya leader, having become a cloud, then quickly extinguished / that fire with downpours, like a cloud of the cosmic dissolution. / Seeing that the Bearer of Oblations was then extinguished and distressed, / Vipracitti covered his forehead with sharp arrows. / Then, as he roared again, Maya, the foremost among the Dānavas, / that great Asura, drove terrible arrows into his mouth.
