18 passagesअसम्भ्रान्तः स सौमित्रिस्तान् शरानभिलक्षितान्। मुमोच लक्ष्मणो बाणान् वधार्थं तस्य रक्षसः॥ १०१॥
Unconfused, that son of Sumitrā released those well-aimed arrows; Lakṣmaṇa let loose arrows for the slaying of that rākṣasa.
न शशाक रुजं कर्तुं युधि तस्य नरोत्तमः। अथैनमभ्युपागम्य वायुर्वाक्यमुवाच ह॥ १०२॥
That best of men could not inflict a wound on him in battle. Then, approaching him, Vayu indeed spoke these words.
ब्रह्मदत्तवरो ह्येष अवध्यकवचावृतः। ब्राह्मेणास्त्रेण भिन्ध्येनमेष वध्यो हि नान्यथा। अवध्य एष ह्यन्येषामस्त्राणां कवची बली॥ १०३॥
This one has a boon granted by Brahmā; he is covered with an armor that makes him not to be slain. Pierce this one with the Brahma-weapon; he can be slain only thus, not otherwise. For this one is indeed unslayable by the other weapons, armored and mighty.
ततस्तु वायोर्वचनं निशम्य सौमित्रिरिन्द्रप्रतिमानवीर्यः। समादधे बाणमथोग्रवेगं तद्ब्राह्ममस्त्रं सहसा नियुज्य॥ १०४॥
Then, having heard the words of Wind, the son of Sumitrā, whose valor was comparable to Indra’s, set an exceedingly swift arrow and at once applied to it that Brahma-weapon.
तस्मिन् वरास्त्रे तु नियुज्यमाने सौमित्रिणा बाणवरे शिताग्रे। दिशश्च चन्द्रार्कमहाग्रहाश्च नभश्च तत्रास ररास चोर्वी॥ १०५॥
But when that excellent weapon was being applied by the son of Sumitrā to the excellent sharp-pointed arrow, the quarters, and the moon, sun, and great planets, and the sky there trembled, and the earth shone—or, possibly, blazed; the transmitted wording is somewhat compact here.
