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.
मोहं परमतो गच्छन् दृढविद्धो हि वित्तपः स क्षणाद्धैर्यमालम्ब्य धनुराकृष्य भैरवम्
Struck firmly, the lord of wealth fell into deep confusion; then, regaining his courage in a moment, he drew his dreadful bow.
किरन्बाणसहस्राणि निशितानि धनाधिपः दिशः खं विदिशो भूमीर् अनीकान्यसुरस्य च
The lord of wealth released thousands of sharp arrows, filling the directions, sky, intermediate regions, earth, and the demon’s troops.
पूरयामास वेगेन संछाद्य रविमण्डलम् जम्भो ऽपि परमेकैकं शरैर्बहुभिराहवे
He filled them with speed, covering the sun’s orb; Jambha too, in the battle, cut each one with many arrows.
चिछेद लघुसंधानो धनेशस्यातिपौरुषात् ततो धनेशः संक्रुद्धो दानवेन्द्रस्य कर्मणा
With swift aim, he cut them down, by the lord of wealth’s great prowess; then the lord of wealth, enraged by the demon king’s actions,
व्यधमत्तस्य सैन्यानि नानासायकवृष्टिभिः तद्दृष्ट्वा दुष्कृतं कर्म धनाध्यक्षस्य दानवः
Scattered his armies with showers of various arrows; seeing this wicked deed of the lord of wealth, the demon
गृहीत्वा मुद्गरं भीमम् आयसं हेमभूषितम् धनदानुचरान्यक्षान् निष्पिपेष सहस्रशः
Took up a dreadful iron mace adorned with gold, and crushed the yakshas, attendants of the lord of wealth, by the thousands.
ते वध्यमाना दैत्येन मुञ्चन्तो भैरवान्रवान् रथं धनपतेः सर्वे परिवार्य व्यवस्थिताः
As they were being struck down by the demon, all surrounded the chariot of the lord of wealth, releasing terrifying cries.
दृष्ट्वा तानर्दितान्देवः शूलं जग्राह दारुणम् तेन दैत्यसहस्राणि सूदयामास सत्वरः
Seeing them afflicted, the god seized a dreadful spear and swiftly slew thousands of demons with it.
क्षीयमाणेषु दैत्येषु दानवः क्रोधमूर्छितः जग्राह परशुं दैत्यो मर्दनं दैत्यविद्विषाम्
As the demons were being diminished, the demon, overwhelmed by wrath, took up a battle-axe, the destroyer of those who hate demons.
स तेन शितधारेण धनभर्तुर् महारथम् चिछेद शतशो दैत्यो ह्य् आखुः स्निग्धमिवाम्बरम्
With that sharp-edged axe, the demon cut the great chariot of the lord of wealth into hundreds of pieces, like a rat shredding soft cloth.
पदातिरथ वित्तेशो गदामादाय भैरवीम् महाहवविमर्देषु दृप्तशत्रुविनाशिनीम्
The lord of wealth, on foot and chariot, took up a terrifying mace, one that destroys arrogant enemies in great battles.
अधृष्यां सर्वभूतानां बहुवर्षगणार्चिताम् नानाचन्दनदिग्धाङ्गां दिव्यपुष्पविवासिताम्
Unassailable by all beings, honored for many years, its body smeared with various sandalwoods, adorned with divine flowers.
निर्मलायोमयीं गुर्वीम् अमोघां हेमभूषणाम् चिक्षेप मूर्ध्नि संक्रुद्धो जम्भस्य तु धनाधिपः
Pure, made of iron, heavy, unfailing, adorned with golden ornaments—the enraged lord of wealth hurled it at Jambha's head.
आयान्तीं तां समालोक्य तडित्संघातमण्डिताम् दैत्यो गदाभिघातार्थं शस्त्रवृष्टिं मुमोच ह
Seeing it approaching, radiant like a cluster of lightning, the demon released a shower of weapons to strike the mace.
चक्राणि कुणपान्प्रासान् भुशुण्डीः पट्टिशानपि हेमकेयूरनद्धाभ्यां बाहुभ्यां चण्डविक्रमः
Discs, skulls, spears, bhuśuṇḍīs, and pattiśas, too, with arms bound by golden bracelets, fiercely courageous.
व्यर्थीकृत्य तु तान्सर्वान् आयुधान्दैत्यवक्षसि प्रस्फुरन्ती पपातोग्रा महोल्केवाद्रिकन्दरे
But having rendered all those weapons ineffective, the fierce mace fell upon the demon's chest, flashing like a great meteor in a mountain cave.
स तयाभिहतो गाढं पपात रथकूबरे स्रोतोभिश्चास्य रुधिरं सुस्राव गतचेतसः
Struck hard by it, he fell onto the chariot's hub, and streams of blood flowed from him as he lost consciousness.
जम्भं तु निहतं मत्वा कुजम्भो भैरवस्वनः धनाधिपस्य संक्रुद्धो वाक्येनातीव कोपितः
Thinking Jambha slain, Kujambha, with a terrifying roar, was greatly enraged by the words of the lord of wealth.
चक्रे बाणमयं जालं दिक्षु यक्षाधिपस्य तु चिछेद बाणजालं तद् अर्धचन्द्रैः शितैस्ततः
He created a net of arrows in all directions against the lord of the Yakshas, but that net was cut apart by sharp crescent-headed arrows.
मुमोच शरवृष्टिं तु तस्मै यक्षाधिपो बली स तं दैत्यः शरव्रातं चिछेद निशितैः शरैः
Then the powerful lord of the Yakshas released a rain of arrows at him, and the demon cut apart that mass of arrows with sharp shafts.
