न ते ऽदृश्यन्त संछन्नाः शरजालैः समन्ततः पुंखानुपुंखपतितैर्ज्योतींषीव नभोघनैः

na te 'dṛśyanta sañchannāḥ śara-jālaiḥ samantataḥ puṅkhānupuṅkha-patitair jyotīṁṣīva nabho-ghanaiḥ

Synonyms

na—not; te—they (the demigods); adṛśyanta—were seen; sañchannāḥ—being completely covered; śara-jālaiḥ—by networks of arrows; samantataḥ—all around; puṅkha-anupuṅkha—one arrow after another; patitaiḥ—falling; jyotīṁṣi iva—like the stars in the sky; nabhaḥ-ghanaiḥ—by the dense clouds..

Translation

As the stars in the sky cannot be seen when covered by dense clouds, the demigods, being completely covered by networks of arrows falling upon them one after another, could not be seen.
