वञ्चयामास दुर्धर्षं मुद्गरं स महाबलः तस्मिन्नपसृते दूरं चण्डानां भीमकर्मणाम्
That mighty one deceived the formidable Mudgara, who then retreated far from those fierce and terrible warriors.
याम्यानां किंकराणां तु सहस्रं निष्पिपेष ह ततस्तां निहतां दृष्ट्वा घोरां किंकरवाहिनीम्
He crushed a thousand attendants of Yama, and seeing that dreadful host of attendants slain,
अगमत्परमं क्षोभं नानाप्रहरणोद्यतः ग्रसनस्तु समालोक्य तां किंकरमयीं चमूम्
Grasana, raising various weapons, became greatly agitated upon beholding that army made up of attendants.
मेने यमसहस्राणि सृष्टानि यममायया निग्राह्य ग्रसनः सेनां विसृजन्नस्त्रवृष्टयः
He thought that thousands of Yamas had been created by Yama's illusion; restraining himself, Grasana released showers of weapons upon the army.
कल्पान्तघोरसंकाशो बभूव क्रोधमूर्छितः कांश्चिद्बिभेद शूलेन कांश्चिद्बाणैरजिह्मगैः
Enraged, he became like the terror at the end of an age; some he pierced with his spear, others with straight-flying arrows.
कांश्चित् पिपेष गदया कांश्च मुद्गरवृष्टिभिः केचित्प्रासप्रहारैश्च दारुणैस्ताडितास्तदा
Some he crushed with his mace, some with showers of clubs; others were struck at that time by fierce blows of javelins.
अपरे बहुशस्तस्य ललम्बुर्बाहुमण्डले शिलाभिरपरे जघ्नुर् द्रुमैरन्यैर्महोच्छ्रयैः
Many others hung from his arm, while some struck him with stones, and others with great, towering trees.
तस्यापरे तु गात्रेषु दशनैरप्यदंशयन् अपरे मुष्टिभिः पृष्ठं किंकराः प्रहरन्ति च
Some bit his limbs with their teeth, while others, the attendants, struck his back with their fists.
अभिद्रुतस्तथा घोरैर् ग्रसनः क्रोधमूर्छितः उत्सृज्य गात्रं भूपृष्ठे निष्पिपेष सहस्रशः
Thus, attacked by those fierce ones, Grasana, maddened by anger, abandoned his body on the ground and crushed thousands.
कांश्चिदुत्थाय मुष्टिभिर् जघ्ने किंकरसंश्रयान् स तु किंकरयुद्धेन ग्रसनः श्रममाप्तवान्
Rising up, he struck some who clung to the attendants with his fists; but through this battle with the attendants, Grasana became weary.
तमालोक्य यमः श्रान्तं निहतां च स्ववाहिनीम् आजगाम समुद्यम्य दण्डं महिषवाहनः
Seeing him exhausted and his own army slain, Yama, mounted on his buffalo and raising his staff, approached.
ग्रसनस्तु समायान्तम् आजघ्ने गदयोरसि अचिन्तयित्वा तत्कर्म ग्रसनस्यान्तको ऽरिहा
As Yama approached, Grasana struck him on the chest with his mace, but Antaka, destroyer of enemies, disregarded that act.
जघ्ने रथस्य मूर्धन्यान् व्याघ्रान्दण्डेन कोपनः स रथो दण्डमथितैर् व्याघ्रैरर्धैर् विकृष्यते
In anger, Yama struck the tigers on the chariot's head with his staff; the chariot, half-dragged by the tigers struck by the staff, was pulled aside.
संशयः पुरुषस्येव चित्तं दैत्यस्य तद्रथम् समुत्सृज्य रथं दैत्यः पदातिर्धरणीं गतः
The mind of the demon was as unsettled as a man's; abandoning his chariot, the demon went on foot to the earth.
यमं भुजाभ्यामादाय योधयामास दानवः यमो ऽपि शस्त्राण्युत्सृज्य बाहुयुद्धेष्ववर्तत
The demon seized Yama with his arms and began to fight; Yama too, casting aside his weapons, engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
ग्रसनः कटिवस्त्रैस्तु यमं गुह्य बलोद्धतः भ्रामयामास वेगेन प्रचित्तमिव सम्भ्रमः
Grasana, his strength aroused, seized Yama by the waist-cloth and whirled him swiftly, as a mind is thrown into confusion.
यमो ऽपि कण्ठे ऽवष्टभ्य दैत्यं बाहुयुगेन तु वेगेन भ्रामयामास समुत्कृष्य महीतलात्
Yama too, grasping the demon by the neck with both arms, lifted him from the ground and whirled him with force.
ततो मुष्टिभिरन्योन्यं निर्दयौ तौ निजघ्नतुः दैत्येन्द्रस्यातिकायत्वात् ततः श्रान्तभुजो यमः
Then, the two struck each other mercilessly with their fists; but because of the demon king's immense size, Yama's arms grew weary.
स्कन्धे निधाय दैत्यस्य मुखं विश्रान्तिमैच्छत तमालक्ष्य ततो दैत्यः श्रान्तमन्तकमोजसा
Placing the demon on his shoulder, he sought rest; seeing him thus, the demon, exhausted, brought him to his end with his strength.
निष्पिपेष महीपृष्ठे बहुशः पार्ष्णिपाणिभिः यावद्यमस्य वदनात् सुस्राव रुधिरं बहु
He crushed him repeatedly against the earth with his heel and hands, until much blood flowed from Yama’s mouth.
निर्जीवितं यमं दृष्ट्वा ततः संत्यज्य दानवः जयं प्राप्योद्धतं दैत्यो नादं मुक्त्वा महास्वनः
Seeing Yama lifeless, the demon abandoned him, and having gained a fierce victory, released a mighty roar.
स्वयं सैन्यं समासाद्य तस्थौ गिरिरिवाचलः धनाधिपस्य जम्भेन सायकैर्मर्मभेदिभिः
He himself approached his army and stood firm like a mountain; by Jambha, lord of wealth, with arrows that pierced the vital parts.
दिशो ऽवरुद्धाः क्रुद्धेन सैन्यं चास्य निकृन्तितम् ततः क्रोधपरीतस्तु धनेशो जम्भदानवम्
The directions were blocked by his wrath, and his army was cut down; then, filled with anger, the lord of wealth attacked Jambha the demon.
हृदि विव्याध बाणानां सहस्रेणाग्निवर्चसाम् सारथिं च शतेनाजौ ध्वजं दशभिरेव च
He pierced his heart with a thousand arrows blazing like fire, struck his charioteer with a hundred in battle, and his banner with ten.
हस्तौ च पञ्चसप्तत्या मार्गणैर्दशभिर्धनुः मार्गणैर् बर्हिपत्त्राङ्गैस् तैलधौतैरजिह्मगैः
He struck his hands with seventy-five arrows, his bow with ten, with arrows feathered with peacock plumes, oiled, and straight.
सिंहमेकेन तं तीक्ष्णैर् विव्याध दशभिः शरैः जम्भस्तु कर्म तद्दृष्ट्वा धनेशस्यातिदुष्करम्
He pierced the lion with one, and him with ten sharp arrows; Jambha, seeing this exceedingly difficult feat of the lord of wealth,
हृदि धैर्यं समालम्ब्य किंचित्संत्रस्तमानसः जग्राह निशितान्बाणाञ् छत्रुमर्मविभेदिनः
Steadied his heart, though somewhat fearful, and took up sharp arrows that pierce the enemy’s vital points.
आकर्णाकृष्टचापस्तु जम्भः क्रोधपरिप्लुतः विव्याध धनदं तीक्ष्णैः शरैर्वक्षसि दानवः
Jambha, his bow drawn to his ear and filled with rage, pierced the lord of wealth in the chest with sharp arrows.
सारथिं चास्य बाणेन दृढेनाभ्यहनद्धृदि चिछेद ज्यामथैकेन तैलधौतेन दानवः
He struck his charioteer in the heart with a firm arrow, and cut the bowstring with a single, oiled arrow.
ततस्तु निशितैर्बाणैर् दारुणैर् मर्मभेदिभिः विव्याधोरसि वित्तेशं दशभिः क्रूरकर्मकृत्
Then, with sharp, harsh arrows that pierce the vital parts, he struck the lord of wealth in the chest with ten, performing a cruel deed.
