इति श्रुत्वा वचस्तस्य तत्सुता च पतिव्रता
Hearing these words, his devoted wife,
पुण्डरीकनिभे नेत्रे श्यामांगं तस्य सुन्दरम् दुर्जयश्च महीराजः कृष्णांशेन विनिर्जितः ।। 3.3.26.

इति श्रुत्वा वचो घोरं ब्रह्मानन्दो महाबलः
Hearing those dreadful words, Brahmananda, mighty in strength,
महीराजस्तु कलही सैन्यायुतमहात्मजः
But the king, quarrelsome, with an army and heroic sons,
तयोश्चासीन्महयुद्धं सेनयोरुभयोर्भुवि
Between the two, there was a great battle on the earth between both armies.
लक्षणश्चाभयं शूरं देवसिंहो महीपतिम् 3.3.26.
Lakshana, fearless and heroic, was like a lion among kings.

ब्रह्मानन्दोऽयमायातो मम सैन्य क्षयंकरः
Brahmananda has now come, bringing destruction to my army.
इत्युक्त्वा तास्समादाय ब्रह्मानन्दमुपाययौ
Having said this, he gathered them and brought Brahmananda.
कृष्णांशस्तत्र बलवान्नभोमार्गेण तं प्रति
Krishna's portion, powerful, approached him by the path of the sky.
तदा तु मूर्छिते तस्मिन्मोचयित्वा च ता मुदा
Then, when he had fainted, they joyfully released them.
पराजिते योगिसैन्ये ब्रह्मानंदो महाबलः
With the yogi army defeated, Brahmananda, mighty in strength,
महीराजस्तु संप्राप्तो महीपत्यनुमोदितः 3.3.26.
The king then arrived, approved by the lord of the earth.
नृहरश्चाभयं शूरं मर्दनश्चैव रूपणम्
Nṛhara, fearless and valiant, and Mardana, too, stood forth in their forms.
चामुण्डः कामसेनं च धनुर्युद्धमचीकरत्
Cāmuṇḍa engaged in battle with Kāmasena, fighting with bows.
छित्त्वा धनुस्तमागत्य खड्गयुद्धमचीकरत् तमाह वचनं क्रुद्धोऽभयो युद्धार्थमुद्यतः
After cutting the bow, he approached and began sword-fighting; then, enraged and ready for battle, Abhaya spoke these words to him:
भवान्वै मातृष्वस्रीयो महीराजस्य चात्मजः
You are indeed the son of the king of the earth, born of the maternal aunt.
क्षत्रियाणां परं धर्मं कथं संहर्तुमिच्छति
How do you wish to destroy the supreme duty of the kṣatriyas?
जघान तं च शिरसि स हतः स्वर्गमाययौ
He struck him on the head, and slain thus, he went to heaven.
