English Meaning
Taking dreadful arrows, in the conflict, discharged them at the son of Ravana. "O nightrangers, heroes, coming to the field never discharge (such shafts as these). These arrows of your are light and of slight strength, and they conduce to my comfort. Heroic warriors eager for encounter, do not fight thus.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
