Bow

'Alas, my arrows are all exhausted. What shall I shoot now
from my bow? Who is this person that swalloweth my arrows? Slaying him with the end of my bow, as
elephants are killed with lances, I shall send him to the domains of the mace-bearing Yama.' The
illustrious Arjuna then, taking up his bow and dragging the Kirata with his bow-string, struck him some
fierce blows that descended like thunderbolts. When, however, that slayer of hostile heroes--the son of
Kunti--commenced the conflict with the end of the bow, the mountaineer snatched from his hands that
celestial bow.
