'भिक्षे वार्ष्णेयपार्थीथौ वां पावकं मां निबोधतम् ।

स युवाभ्यां सहायाभ्यामस्त्रविद्भयां समागतः ।

दहेयं खाण्डवं दावमेतदन्नं वृतं मया ॥'
 

" I beg of you two, Arjuna and Krishna;

know me as Fire ; with you two, who are

experts with misssiles, as aids, I would

burn the Khandava forest; this has been

chosen by me as (my) food. "
 

 
प्रादाच्चैव धनूरत्नमक्षय्यौ च महेषुधी ।

रथं च दिव्याश्वयुजं कपिप्रवरकेतनम् ॥
 

He gave ( to Arjuna ) an excellent bow

and two great inexhaustible quivers as also

a chariot, fitted with celestial horses and

a banner with a great monkey on it.
 

 
वज्रनाभं ततश्चकं ददौ कृष्णाय पावकः ॥
 

The god of fire then gave to Krishna

a discus of adamantine nave.
 

 
ततः पावकमब्रूतां प्रहृष्टावर्जुनाच्युतौ ।

'कामं संप्रज्वलाद्यैव कल्यौ स्वस्साह्यकर्मणि' ॥
