PARASURAMA AVATARA
 
स वीरस्त तद् दृष्ट्वा आत्मैश्वर्यातिशायनम्
हविर्धानीमृषेर्पान्नरान् हर्तुमचोदयत् ।
 
ते च माहिष्मतीं निन्युः सवत्सां क्रन्दतीं बलात् ॥
 
The valorous Arjuna saw in that hermi-
tage of Jamadagni that excelling of his
own wealth. In his pride, he set his men
to carry away Kamadhenu; and they
forcibly took to Mahishmati (Arjuna's
capital) that bleating cow with its calf.
 
अथ राजनि निर्याते राम आश्रम आगतः ।
श्रुत्वा तत्तस्य दौरात्म्यं चुक्रोधाहिरिवाहतः ।
घोरमादाय परशुं सतूणं चर्म कार्मुकम् ।
अन्वधावत दुर्धर्षो मृगेन्द्र इव यूथपम् ॥
 
Then, when the king had gone, Rama,
who had returned, heard in the hermitage
of that wickedness of Arjuna and became
furious like a beaten serpent. Seizing his
terrible axe, quiver, shield and bow, the
inviolable Rama ran after Arjuna, like a
lion running after an elephant.
