शलभा इव केदारं मशका इव पावकम्। यथामृतघटं दंशा मकरा इव चार्णवम्॥ तथा रक्षोधनुर्मुक्ता वज्रानिलमनोजवाः। हरिं विशन्ति स्म शरा लोका इव विपर्यये।४।।
śalabhā iva kedāraṃ maśakā iva pāvakam| yathāmṛtaghaṭaṃ daṃśā makarā iva cārṇavam|| tathā rakṣodhanurmuktā vajrānilamanojavāḥ| hariṃ viśanti sma śarā lokā iva viparyaye|4||
English Meaning
As locusts (flood) a field, knots (throng) about a flame, gad-flies (cluster) around a pot of honey, or makaras (range) in the sea, so the shafts shot by the bows of the Rākṣasa, having (the energy of) the thunder-bolt and endowed with (the velocity of) the wind or thought, pierce Hari as if at the universal dissolution.
