स्कन्दोत्सृष्टेव सा शक्तिर्गोविन्दकरनिःसृता। काङ्क्षन्ती राक्षसं प्रायान्महोल्केवाञ्जनाचलम्॥ सा तस्योरसि विस्तीर्णे हारभारावभासिते। आपतद्राक्षसेन्द्रस्य गिरिकूट इवाशनिः॥

English Meaning
Thereat the dart discharged by the hand of Govinda like to the Dart discharged by the hand of Skanda, rushing towards the Rākṣasa like a meteor coursing towards the Anjana mountain, descended on the spacious chest of the lord of the Rākşasas decked with the weight of a chain, even as the thunder clap bursts at the summit of the mountain.
