English Meaning
The heroic Lakşmaņa resisted it with a Solar weapon. Seeing his weapon resisted, Ravana's son, transported with passion, took up an Asura arrow, capable of rending foes. And from that weapon issued daggers and clubs and darts and bhusundis and maces and swords and axes.* *This arrow resembled somewhat the bomb-shells in modern European warfare.
