English Meaning
Hearing these words of his, the puissant king of righteousness spoke there to death, 'Do you stay. I myself shall slay him.' Then with his eyes reddened that lord, Vaivasvata, wielded with his hand the infallible dart of time; while by him lay the redoubtable noose of time and the mace in its native shape resembling fire and the thunderbolt.
