Then, having pulled out that very arrow shot by the Dānava, / Viṭpati hurled it at Kārtasvana and roared aloud.
That arrow released by Viṭpati, bringing destruction to Dānavas, / carried off the head of the Dānava’s charioteer ten arrow-lengths away.
When his charioteer was killed, his swift and dappled horses in battle / ran amok, carrying off the chariot like hawks seizing meat.
“Kārtasvana’s chariot is fleeing! Why do you sit idle? Seize it!” / Thus arose a great uproar among the chiefs of the Dānavas.
That best of chariots, wandering across the vast slope of Mount Mandara, / shone like the sun's excellent chariot drawn by seven horses wandering upon Mount Meru.
