1. We know that the parjanyna who have his nourishment from all the inanimate and inanimate is the father of this dart. From this togetherness is the birth of the arrow who is considered as his son.
2. Oh the god of gods, let our body be strong as that of rock and full of power. Let the thread of bow should not aim us,(instead aim our enemies). Let the inauspicious austerities of our enemies never affect us.let their strength be vanquished.
3. Like the cattle seeks asylum in the shadow of the big tree in scorching sun in tiredness, let we be kept away from the arrows sent across by the brave ones in our enemylines
4. Just like the divine glow that exist between the earth and the dyuloka and that which protect, let us be saved from the diseases, wounds and disasters by being eluded from the arrows of the enemy lines.
