> "Monkey-faced one, why do you seek to frighten me with words?  
> I am the grandson of Hiraṇyakaśipu, no ordinary dānava!  
> Neither from Yama with his staff, nor from Varuṇa with his noose, nor from Indra with his thunderbolt, nor from the Lord of Wealth with his mace  
> do I feel fear on the battlefield; nor has fear ever fled \[from battle\] among the daityas!  
> Today, struck down by my arrows, let your repulsive, ugly face,  
> with its yellow, rolling eyes, fall to the ground like a fully ripe palm fruit from a palm tree!"  
> Having spoken thus, that cloud of a dānava king, roaring loudly like a lion,  
> covered Nandīśvara with a shower of arrows, as a cloud covers the king of mountains.  
> As birds enter a tree with ripe fruit, or as fierce snakes enter a high anthill,  
> so did the blazing-headed arrows shot by the dānava king pierce Nandīśvara.
