Translation
Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī said: Hearing this from the Personality of Godhead, Arjuna touched water for purification, and after circumambulating Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, he cast his brahmāstra weapon to counteract the other one.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Sūta said: Hearing the words of the Lord, Arjuna the slayer of hostile warriors, performing ācamana, circumabulated Kṛṣṇa and aimed his brahmāstra in order to counteract Aśvatthāmā’s weapon.
Commentary (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Tam refers to Kṛṣṇa. For destroying Aśvatthāma’s weapon (brāhmāya) he aimed his weapon.
