Verse 8.13

ततो वयमितस्तूर्णं शूलशक्तिगदाधराः। चापबाणासिहस्ताश्च त्वरितास्तत्र यामहे ॥ आकाशे गणशः स्थित्वा हत्वा तां हरिवाहिनीम्। अश्मशस्त्रमहावृष्ट्या प्रापयाम यमक्षयम्॥

tato vayamitastūrṇaṃ śūlaśaktigadādharāḥ| cāpabāṇāsihastāśca tvaritāstatra yāmahe || ākāśe gaṇaśaḥ sthitvā hatvā tāṃ harivāhinīm| aśmaśastramahāvṛṣṭyā prāpayāma yamakṣayam||

English Meaning

Then, equipped with darts, javelins and maces, and bearing bows, arrows and scimitars in our hands, we shall swiftly and summoning speed* set out (from hence); and stationing ourselves in the sky in bands, and slaughtering the monkey-army with mighty showers of rocks and weapons, we shall lead it to Death's door. *Tvarita-summoning speed-redundant.
