[…] / Springing from his chariot, Rāhu, unchanging, crushed his bow, banner, / and horses with a club of dreadful form. / Greatly exerting himself, he seized a fiery thunderbolt adorned with a hundred bells, / like the daughter-in-law of Death, as Antaka seizes the noose of Death. / Having whirled that fierce weapon resembling Yama's rod with all his might, / he hurled it at Rāhu, as the king of clouds hurls lightning.
