The Archery Skill  

Dhirasura is the most accomplished archer who can shoot and hit the target many times in a flash of lightning known as Akkhanavedhi, who can split into two halves a target as small as the tail hair or feather of an animal as if it were a target such as a brinjal Valavedhi, who can shoot an arrow to hit another arrow which was shot ahead of it Saravedhi and who can shoot to hit the target without seeing with the eyes but by listening to the sound Saddavedhi.

Suddenly there seem to be thousands of Sarpa with many, many hoods - some Sarpa five hoods, some seven, some ten, others a hundred moving fast towards these Asuras. Left with no choice the Dhirasura had released the arrow that split into as many as Sarpa and hit the target many times in a flash of lightning split Sarpa into pieces. All of them seem to be dead. Just then, the great warrior Sarpa Lords including Ashwatar, Devadatta, Dhananjaya, Dhritarashtra, Garala, Ilaputra, Kambala, Kulika, Maha Padma, Mahashankha, Mandaka, Nahusha, Phani, Shankhshwet, and Shveta have reached there and to find out who were these powerful intruders. They recognized the mighty Asuras and also looked at the light blue colored Ocean that is now turned into red blood flowing from the butchered Sarpa. They could not resist this and challenged the Asura s to fight with them.Read more at Vedic Wings...Sivkishen, Author
