THE MAHABHARATA
the god of fire: "Burn as you please
even now; we are ready for your help."
एवमुक्तस्स भगवान्दाशार्हेणार्जुनेन च ।
ददाह खाण्डवं दावं युगान्तमिव दर्शयन् ॥
So told by Krishna and Arjuna, the god
of fire burnt the Khandava forest, as if
displaying the final destruction of the world.
खाण्डवस्य विमोक्षार्
तच्छरैरर्जुनो वर्
Indra sent rain for the rescue of
Indra sent rain for the
the
Khandava forest; incensed very much,
Arjuna warded off that rain with his arrows.
तस्मिन्वने दह्यमाने षडग्निर्न ददाइ च ।
अश्वसेनं मयं चैव चतुरश्शार्ङ्गकांस्तथा ॥
When that forest was being burnt, the
fire did not burn six beings,-Asvasena
( a serpent), Maya (the architect of the
demons) and four Sarnga birds.
