Virocana and Andhaka, furious and agitated,
poured down showers of arrows, like two clouds pouring showers of water. / 10
Discharging a rain of arrows, those two daityas, afflicted by superior shafts,
were turned back at the forefront of battle by Svayaṃprabha. / 11
Svayaṃprabha dried up the ocean of the dānava army with countless arrows sped from the bow-machine,
just as the sun, with his blazing ring of rays, dries up the ocean at the dissolution of the world. / 12
