Then, taking up a celestial bow, he of wondrous prowess, / effortlessly fitting an arrow, shot it at the mountain […]. // 20
Sundered suddenly by it, the supreme peak of the mountain fell at once, / its birds terrified, frightened, and flying about in panic. // 21
Seeing that great wonder, both astonishment and fear / arose simultaneously among the creatures dwelling there. // 22
Then, perceiving danger to himself from him, the slayer of Bala / dispatched the mothers for the destruction of the one of boundless splendor. // 23
