TOTAK STANZA

ਘਟਿ ਏਕ ਬਿਖੈ ਰਿਪੁ ਚੇਤ ਭਯੋ ॥

ghatt ek bikhai rip chet bhayo |

ਧਨੁ ਬਾਣ ਬਲੀ ਪੁਨਿ ਪਾਣਿ ਲਯੋ ॥

After one ghari (about 24 mintues), the enemy (Andhakasura) regained his senses and that mighty warrior again took bow and arrows in his hands.

ਕਰਿ ਕੋਪ ਕਵੰਡ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਖ੍ਰਯੰ ॥

kar kop kavandd kare karakhrayan |

ਸਰ ਧਾਰ ਬਲੀ ਘਨ ਜਿਯੋ ਬਰਖ੍ਰਯੋ ॥੩੮॥

sar dhaar balee ghan jiyo barakhrayo |38|

The bow was pulled in his hands in great anger and a volley of arrows was showered like rain.38.

ਕਰਿ ਕੋਪ ਬਲੀ ਬਰਖ੍ਰਯੋ ਬਿਸਖੰ ॥

kar kop balee barakhrayo bisakhan |

ਇਹ ਓਰ ਲਗੈ ਨਿਸਰੇ ਦੁਸਰੰ ॥

eih or lagai nisare dusaran |

In great ire, that mighty warrior began to discharge and shower his distinctively powerful arrows, which struck on one side came out from the other side.

ਤਬ ਕੋਪ ਕਰੰ ਸਿਵ ਸੂਲ ਲੀਯੋ ॥

tab kop karan siv sool leeyo |

ਅਰਿ ਕੋ ਸਿਰੁ ਕਾਟਿ ਦੁਖੰਡ ਕੀਯੋ ॥੩੯॥

Then greatly infuriated, Shiva took the trident in his hand, and cut the head of the enemy into two parts.39.

ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਾਟਕੇ ਪਿਨਾਕਿ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧਹਿ ਅੰਧਕ ਬਧਹਿ ਰੁਦ੍ਰੋਸਤਤਿ ਧਯਾਇ ਸਮਾਪਤਮ ਸਤੁ ਸੁਭਮ ਸਤੁ ॥੧੦॥
