Then Gádhi's son in fury threw Lord Varuṇ's arm and Rudra's too: Indra's fierce bolt that all destroys; That which the Lord of Herds employs: The Human, that which minstrels keep, The deadly Lure, the endless Sleep: The Yawner, and the dart which charms; Lament and Torture, fearful arms: The Terrible, the dart which dries, The Thunderbolt which quenchless flies, And Fate's dread net, and Brahmá's noose, And that which waits for Varuṇ's use: The dart he loves who wields the bow Pináka, and twin bolts that glow With fury as they flash and fly, The quenchless Liquid and the Dry: The dart of Vengeance, swift to kill: The Goblins' dart, the Curlew's Bill: [pg 068] The discus both of Fate and Right, And Vishṇu's, of unerring flight: The Wind-God's dart, the Troubler dread, The weapon named the Horse's Head.
