Translation
Seeing that form nearby annihilate the brahmāstra with his club, just as the sun dissipates frost, Parīkṣit considered in his mind, “Who is that?”
Commentary

Like the sun (gopatiḥ) destroys frost (nīhāram) he destroyed the brahmāstra. He considered (paryaikṣata) “Who has saved me by those martial stances, even though he is not related to me?”
