### SB 1.12.10

> अस्त्रतेजः स्वगदया नीहारमिव गोपतिः ।\
> विधमन्तं सन्निकर्षे पर्यैक्षत क इत्यसौ ॥१०॥

> astra-tejaḥ sva-gadayā\
> nīhāram iva gopatiḥ\
> vidhamantaṁ sannikarṣe\
> paryaikṣata ka ity asau

*astra-tejaḥ*—radiation of the *brahmāstra*; *sva-gadayā*—by means of His own club; *nīhāram*—drops of dew; *iva*—like; *gopatiḥ*—the sun; *vidhamantam*—act of vanishing; *sannikarṣe*—nearby; *paryaikṣata*—observing; *kaḥ*—who; *iti asau*—this body.

**The Lord was thus engaged in vanquishing the radiation of the brahmāstra, just as the sun evaporates a drop of dew. He was observed by the child, who thought it to be Him.**
