O King Yudhiṣṭhira.
My dear King Yudhiṣṭhira, the most powerful Lord Śiva joined the arrows to his bow, and at noon he set fire to all three residences of the demons and thus destroyed them.

O King! Powerful Lord Śiva, stringing the arrows to his bow, burned up the three residences of the demons at noon.
Abhijit means noontime.

Personal Guidance
Śiva at noon sets fire to all three demonic residences and destroys them. Long preparation, then a decisive moment. The arrow flies when the time is right.
Reflection Questions
- Which long preparation in your life is approaching its decisive moment?
- How do you stay present so you do not miss the noon hour?
