Dashaka 82 चापानां पञ्चशत्यात प्रसभमुगते छिन्नचापेऽथ बाणे व्यर्थे याते समेतो ज्वरपतिरशनैरज्वरि त्वज्जवरेण। ज्ञानी स्तुत्वाथ दत्वा तव चरितजुषां विज्वरं स ज्वरोऽगात् प्रायोऽन्तर्ज्ञानवन्तोऽपि च बहुतमसा रौद्रचेष्टा हि रौद्राः।।7।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION Baana came attacking ferociously with 500 bows and arrows, but his weapons being severed he had to retreat. Thereupon, the head of all the obsession, the Shaiva obsession came to the forefront but was immediately put out by the Vaishnava obsession. The enlightened Shaivas gave freedom to all those that sung Thy excellences and went away praising Thee. Often the enlightened Rudras also act ferociously, being predominated by Tamas. बाणं नानायुधोग्रं पुनरभिपतितं दर्पदोषाद्वितन्वन् निर्लूनाशेषदोषं सपदि बुबुधुषा शंकरेणोपगीतः। तद्वाचा शिष्टबाहुद्वितयमुभयतो निर्भयं तत्प्रियं तं मुक्त्वा तद्दत्तमानो निजपुरमगमः सानिरुद्धः सहोषः।।8।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION Baana again attacked ferociously full of arrogance with his many various weapons. Thou made him devoid of all vice and his many arms by cutting them off. Shankara soon realised Thy greatness and praised Thee and on his request Thou let off Baana with his two arms on both sides. Baana who was then spared from the fear of death honoured Thee. Thou then returned to Thy city Dwaarikaa with Aniruddha and Ushaa.
