तस्य बाणगणानेव राक्षसस्य दुरात्मनः। अपारयन्वारयितुं प्रत्यगृह्णानिमीलितः। यथैव गोवृषो वर्ष शारदं शीघ्रमागतम्।॥ एवमेव प्रहस्तस्य शरवर्षान्दुरासदान्। निमीलिताक्षः सहसा नीलः सेहे दुरासदान्।॥

English Meaning
And not being able to resist the arrowy vollies of that wicked-minded Raksasas, (Nila) bore them, even as a bull bear with closed eyes a fastdescending autumnal shower. And in the very same way did Nila with his eyes closed suddenly stand the mighty arrowy buffet of Prahasta incapable of being withstood.
