译文
Durmukha, a great archer, mighty, held back the hero Purujit Kuntibhoja, who was riding up in the fight straight at Drona. He [Kuntibhoja] struck Durmukha with a naracha arrow between the brows; and his face took on the appearance, exactly like a lotus on its stalk.

The arrow lodged between Durmukha's brows turns his wounded face into the likeness of a lotus upon its stalk — the horror of the wound clothed in unexpected beauty. This favorite device of the tradition — seeing a flower in the terrible — is not indifference to pain, but a subtle reminder that even at the very heart of destruction the world does not lose its strange loveliness. It is telling that a bloodied face is likened to the sacred lotus. The verse teaches that the eye of the seer-poet discerns beauty even where none, it would seem, could be found; that this is not a softening of horror but testimony to the ever-present harmony that does not abandon the world even in the hour of slaughter; and that one who can see a lotus in a wound has not hardened his heart, but has learned to discern the unquenchable beauty of creation through its very anguish.
