’Twas feathered with the rushing wind;
The glowing sun and fire combined
To the keen point their splendour lent;
The shaft, ethereal element,
By Meru’s hill and Mandar, pride
Of mountains, had its weight supplied.
In plain words: The arrow is described as made of great powers: the wind gave it feathers, the sun and fire gave its point its blaze, and the great mountains Meru and Mandara gave it weight.
