एकस्मिन् समये प्राप्तौ बाणार्थं तद्गणार्जुनौ ।। अर्जुनस्तं पराभर्त्स्य स्वबाणं चाग्रहीत्तदा तपस्वी च कथं मिथ्या भाषते कुरुते नरः ।। नैकाकिनं च मां त्वं च जानीहि वाहिनीपतिम् नन्दीश्वर उवाच ।। इत्येवं वचनन्तस्य श्रुत्वा पार्थोर्जुनस्तदा ।। क्रोधं कृत्वा शिवं स्मृत्वा मितं वाक्यमथाब्रवीत् भिल्ल उवाच।। अज्ञोसि त्वं ऋषिर्नासि मरणं त्वीहसे कथम्।। देहि बाणं सुखन्तिष्ठ त्वन्यथा क्लेशभाग्भवेः किरात उवाच ।। पश्य सैन्यं तपस्विस्त्वं मुञ्च बाणं व्रजाधुना ।। मरणं स्वल्पकार्यार्थं कथमिच्छसि साम्प्रतम्

At one and the same moment both that attendant and Arjuna arrived for the arrow; Arjuna, rebuking him, then seized his own arrow. "And how does a man who is an ascetic speak falsehood and act (so)? Know that I am not alone, and that I am a commander of an army." Nandīśvara said: Having heard this speech of his, Pārtha Arjuna then, growing angry and calling Śiva to mind, spoke a measured word. The Bhilla said: "You are ignorant, you are no seer; why do you court death? Give up the arrow and stay at ease; otherwise you will get your share of pain." The Kirāta said: "Look at the army — you are an ascetic; release the arrow, go now. Why do you now wish for death for the sake of a trifling matter?"
