ततो निर्यातयाम् आसुः साम्बं पत्न्या समन्वितम् निष्क्रम्य स्वपुरीं तूर्णं कौरवा मुनिसत्तमाः
Then, accompanied by his wife, Samba was released; the Kauravas, O best of sages, quickly departed for their own city.
भीष्मद्रोणकृपादीनां प्रणम्य वदतां प्रियम् क्षान्तम् एव मयेत्य् आह बलो बलवतां वरः
Bala, foremost among the strong, bowed to Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, and the others, and spoke pleasing words, saying, 'I have forgiven you.'
अद्याप्य् आघूर्णिताकारं लक्ष्यते तत् पुरं द्विजाः एष प्रभावो रामस्य बलशौर्यवतो द्विजाः
Even today, O twice-born, that city appears unsettled; this is the power of Rama, who possesses strength and valor, O twice-born.
ततस् तु कौरवाः साम्बं संपूज्य हलिना सह प्रेषयाम् आसुर् उद्वाहधनभार्यासमन्वितम्
Then the Kauravas, honoring Samba together with Halin, sent him forth, accompanied by his wife, with gifts for the wedding.
शृणुध्वं मुनयः सर्वे बलस्य बलशालिनः कृतं यद् अन्यद् एवाभूत् तद् अपि श्रूयतां द्विजाः
Hear, O sages, all of you, what else was done by Bala, the mighty; let that also be heard, O twice-born.
नरकस्यासुरेन्द्रस्य देवपक्षविरोधिनः सखाभवन् महावीर्यो द्विविदो नाम वानरः
There was a vanara named Dvivida, of great strength, who became the friend of Naraka, the lord of the asuras, hostile to the gods.
वैरानुबन्धं बलवान् स चकार सुरान् प्रति
He, powerful, fostered enmity against the gods.
नरकं हतवान् कृष्णो बलदर्पसमन्वितम् करिष्ये सर्वदेवानां तस्माद् एष प्रतिक्रियाम्
Krishna, endowed with the pride of strength, slew Naraka; therefore, I will act against all the gods in retaliation.
यज्ञविध्वंसनं कुर्वन् मर्त्यलोकक्षयं तथा ततो विध्वंसयाम् आस यज्ञान् अज्ञानमोहितः
Causing the destruction of sacrifices and likewise the ruin of the mortal world, he then began to destroy the sacrifices, deluded by ignorance.
बिभेद साधुमर्यादां क्षयं चक्रे च देहिनाम् ददाह चपलो देशं पुरग्रामान्तराणि च
He broke the boundaries of the virtuous, brought ruin to living beings, and, restless, burned regions and the interiors of cities and villages.
क्वचिच् च पर्वतक्षेपाद् ग्रामादीन् समचूर्णयत् शैलान् उत्पाट्य तोयेषु मुमोचाम्बुनिधौ तथा
Sometimes, by hurling mountains, he crushed villages; he uprooted rocks and cast them into waters and the ocean.
पुनश् चार्णवमध्यस्थः क्षोभयाम् आस सागरम् तेनातिक्षोभितश् चाब्धिर् उद्वेलो जायते द्विजाः
Again, standing in the midst of the ocean, he agitated the sea; thus, O twice-born, the ocean, greatly disturbed, overflowed.
प्लावयंस् तीरजान् ग्रामान् पुरादीन् अतिवेगवान् कामरूपं महारूपं कृत्वा सस्यान्य् अनेकशः
Flooding villages and cities along the shore with great speed, assuming any form at will, he destroyed many crops.
लुठन् भ्रमणसंमर्दैः संचूर्णयति वानरः तेन विप्रकृतं सर्वं जगद् एतद् दुरात्मना
Rolling, wandering, and crushing, the vanara pulverized; thus, this wicked one disrupted the entire world.
निःस्वाध्यायवषट्कारं द्विजाश् चासीत् सुदुःखितम् कदाचिद् रैवतोद्याने पपौ पानं हलायुधः
Without recitation or sacrificial utterance, the twice-born were greatly distressed; once, in the Raivata garden, Halayudha drank wine.
रेवती च महाभागा तथैवान्या वरस्त्रियः उद्गीयमानो विलसल्ललनामौलिमध्यगः
Revatī, greatly fortunate, and other noble women as well, sang, surrounded by playful maidens.
रेमे यदुवरश्रेष्ठः कुबेर इव मन्दरे ततः स वानरो ऽभ्येत्य गृहीत्वा सीरिणो हलम्
The foremost among the Yadus enjoyed himself like Kubera on Mandara; then that vanara approached, seizing the plough of Sīriṇa.
मुशलं च चकारास्य संमुखः स विडम्बनाम् तथैव योषितां तासां जहासाभिमुखं कपिः
He made a mockery, holding the pestle before him; likewise, the monkey laughed facing those women.
पानपूर्णांश् च करकांश् चिक्षेपाहत्य वै तदा ततः कोपपरीतात्मा भर्त्सयाम् आस तं बलम्
He then struck and threw away the goblets filled with drink, and, his mind overtaken by anger, began to rebuke that force.
तथापि तम् अवज्ञाय चक्रे किलकिलाध्वनिम् ततः समुत्थाय बलो जगृहे मुशलं रुषा
Yet, disregarding him, Balo made a clattering sound; then, rising up, he seized the mace in wrath.
सो ऽपि शैलशिलां भीमां जग्राह प्लवगोत्तमः चिक्षेप च स तां क्षिप्तां मुशलेन सहस्रधा
That foremost among monkeys took up a massive stone slab and hurled it; but Balo shattered it into a thousand pieces with his mace.
बिभेद यादवश्रेष्ठः सा पपात महीतले अपतन् मुशलं चासौ समुल्लङ्घ्य प्लवंगमः
The chief of the Yadavas broke it apart, and it fell to the earth; the monkey, leaping up, avoided the falling mace.
वेगेनायम्य रोषेण बलेनोरस्य् अताडयत् ततो बलेन कोपेन मुष्टिना मूर्ध्नि ताडितः
With speed and fury, Balo struck him in the chest; then, with anger, he hit him on the head with his fist.
पपात रुधिरोद्गारी द्विविदः क्षीणजीवितः पतता तच्छरीरेण गिरेः शृङ्गम् अशीर्यत
Dvivida, his life spent, fell, blood pouring from his mouth; as his body struck the ground, the mountain peak was shattered.
मुनयः शतधा वज्रिवज्रेणेव हि ताडितम् पुष्पवृष्टिं ततो देवा रामस्योपरि चिक्षिपुः
The sages, seeing it struck as if by Indra's thunderbolt, praised it; then the gods showered flowers upon Rama.
प्रशशंसुस् तदाभ्येत्य साध्व् एतत् ते महत् कृतम् अनेन दुष्टकपिना दैत्यपक्षोपकारिणा जगन् निराकृतं वीर दिष्ट्या स क्षयम् आगतः
They approached and praised him, saying: 'Well done, this great deed of yours! By this wicked monkey, ally of the demon faction, the world was afflicted; by fortune, he has met his end.'
एवंविधान्य् अनेकानि बलदेवस्य धीमतः कर्माण्य् अपरिमेयानि शेषस्य धरणीभृतः
Such countless deeds of the wise Baladeva, the serpent and supporter of the earth, are known.
एवं दैत्यवधं कृष्णो बलदेवसहायवान् चक्रे दुष्टक्षितीशानां तथैव जगतः कृते
Thus, Krishna, aided by Baladeva, slew the demons and the wicked rulers of the earth for the sake of the world.
क्षितेश् च भारं भगवान् फाल्गुनेन समं विभुः अवतारयाम् आस हरिः समस्ताक्षौहिणीवधात्
The Lord, together with Arjuna, removed the burden of the earth by destroying all the armies.
कृत्वा भारावतरणं भुवो हत्वाखिलान् नृपान् शापव्याजेन विप्राणाम् उपसंहृतवान् कुलम्
Having lifted the earth's burden by slaying all the kings, he, under the pretext of a curse by the Brahmins, brought his clan to an end.
