व्यर्थीकृतां तु तां दृष्ट्वा शरवृष्टिं धनाधिपः शक्तिं जग्राह दुर्धर्षां हेमघण्टाट्टहासिनीम्
Seeing that rain of arrows rendered useless, the lord of wealth took up an irresistible spear, adorned with golden bells.
बाहुना रत्नकेयूरकान्तिसंतानहासिना स तां निरूप्य वेगेन कुजम्भाय मुमोच ह
With an arm shining with the brilliance of jeweled bracelets, he aimed it and hurled it swiftly at Kujambha.
सा कुजम्भस्य हृदयं दारयामास दारुणम् वित्तेहा स्वल्पसत्त्वस्य पुरुषस्येव भाविता
That spear tore through Kujambha's heart cruelly, as fate does to a man of little strength who craves wealth.
अथास्य हृदयं भित्त्वा जगाम धरणीतलम् ततो मुहूर्तादस्वस्थो दानवो दारुणाकृतिः
Then, piercing his heart, it reached the earth; after a moment, the demon of dreadful form became unsteady.
जग्राह पट्टिशं दैत्यः प्रांशुं शितशिलामुखम् स तेन पट्टिशेनाजौ धनदस्य स्तनान्तरम्
The demon seized a long pike with a sharp stone tip, and with it struck the chest of Dhanada in battle.
वाक्येन तीक्ष्णरूपेण मर्मान्तरविसर्पिणा निर्बिभेदाभिजातस्य हृदयं दुर्जनो यथा
With words as piercing and penetrating as a weapon, the wicked one wounded the heart of the noble, just as a villain harms the worthy.
तेन पट्टिशघातेन धनेशः परिमूर्छितः निपपात रथोपस्थे जर्जरो धूर्वहो यथा
Struck by that blow of the pike, Dhanesha lost consciousness and collapsed, shattered, onto the chariot floor like a broken banner.
तथागतं तु तं दृष्ट्वा धनेशं नरवाहनम् खड्गास्त्रो निरृतिर्देवो निशाचरबलानुगः
Seeing Dhanesha, the lord of men, in such a state, Nirriti, the god armed with a sword, accompanied by the night-stalker army, advanced.
अभिदुद्राव वेगेन कुजम्भं भीमविक्रमम् अथ दृष्ट्वा तु दुर्धर्षं कुजम्भो राक्षसेश्वरम्
He rushed swiftly at Kujambha, of terrible valor; and seeing the formidable Kujambha, the lord of the Rakshasas—
चोदयामास सैन्यानि राक्षसेन्द्रवधं प्रति स दृष्ट्वा चोदितां सेनां भल्लनानास्त्रभीषणाम्
He ordered his armies to attack, aiming to slay the king of the Rakshasas. Seeing the army thus commanded, bristling with arrows and fearsome weapons—
रथादाप्लुत्य वेगेन भूषणद्युतिभास्वरः खड्गेन कमलानीव विकोशेनाम्बरत्विषा
He leapt swiftly from his chariot, shining with the brilliance of his ornaments, and with his sword, gleaming like an unopened lotus in the sky—
चिछेद रिपुवक्त्राणि विचित्राणि समन्ततः तिर्यक्पृष्ठमधश्चोर्ध्वं दीर्घबाहुर्महासिना
With his mighty sword, his long arms struck down the faces of his enemies all around—sideways, behind, below, and above—severing them in every direction.
संदष्टौष्ठपुटाटोपभ्रुकुटीविकटाननः प्रचण्डकोपरक्ताक्षो न्यकृन्तद्दानवान्रणे
With lips pressed tight in fury, brows knotted in a fierce scowl, his eyes bloodshot with terrible wrath, he cut down the demons in battle.
ततो निःशेषितप्रायां विलोक्य स्वामनीकिनीम् मुक्त्वा कुजम्भो धनदं राक्षसेन्द्रमभिद्रवन्
Then, seeing his own army nearly destroyed, Kujambha left Dhanada and charged at the king of the Rakshasas.
लब्धसंज्ञो ऽथ जम्भस्तु धनाध्यक्षपदानुगान् जीवग्राहान्स जग्राह बद्ध्वा पाशैः सहस्रशः
Regaining consciousness, Jambha seized the attendants of the lord of wealth, capturing them alive and binding them by the thousands with nooses.
मूर्तिमन्ति तु रत्नानि विविधानि च दानवाः वाहनानि च दिव्यानि विमानानि सहस्रशः
The demons took hold of embodied jewels of many kinds, as well as divine vehicles and flying chariots by the thousands.
धनेशो लब्धसंज्ञो ऽथ तामवस्थां विलोक्य तु निःश्वसन्दीर्घमुष्णं च रोषात्ताम्रविलोचनः
Dhanesha, regaining his senses and seeing that situation, exhaled a long, hot breath, his eyes reddened with anger.
ध्यात्वास्त्रं गारुडं दिव्यं बाणं संधाय कार्मुके मुमोच दानवानीके तं बाणं शत्रुदारणम्
Meditating on the divine Garuda weapon, he fitted an arrow to his bow and released that enemy-shattering arrow into the demon army.
प्रथमं कार्मुकात्तस्य निश्चेरुर्धूमराजयः अनन्तरं स्फुलिङ्गानां कोटयो दीप्तवर्चसाम्
First, from his bow emerged clouds of smoke; then, countless blazing sparks of fire.
ततो ज्वालाकुलं व्योम चकारास्त्रं समन्ततः ततः क्रमेण दुर्वारं नानारूपं तदाभवत्
Then, the weapon made the sky blaze with flames on every side; and gradually, it became an unstoppable force of many forms.
अमूर्तश्चाभवल्लोको ह्य् अन्धकारसमावृतः ततो ऽन्तरिक्षे शंसन्ति तेजस्ते तु परिष्कृतम्
The world became formless, enveloped in darkness; then, in the sky, they saw your radiance purified.
कुजम्भस्तत्समालोच्य दानवो ऽतिपराक्रमः अभिदुद्राव वेगेन पदातिर्धनदं नदन्
Kujambha, the exceedingly powerful demon, perceiving this, rushed forward on foot at Dhanada, roaring.
अथाभिमुखम् आयान्तं दैत्यं दृष्ट्वा धनाधिपः बभूव सम्भ्रमाविष्टः पलायनपरायणः
Then, seeing the demon approaching directly, the lord of wealth became seized by panic and turned to flee.
ततः पलायतस्तस्य मुकुटं रत्नमण्डितम् पपात भूतले दीप्तं रविबिम्बमिवाम्बरात्
As he fled, his crown, adorned with jewels, fell to the ground, shining like the sun's disk dropping from the sky.
शूराणामभिजातानां भर्तर्यपसृते रणात् मर्तुं संग्रामशिरसि युक्तं तद्भूषणाग्रतः
When their noble lord withdrew from battle, it was fitting for the valiant, high-born warriors to die at the forefront of the fight, before his fallen ornament.
इति व्यवस्य दुर्धर्षा नानाशस्त्रास्त्रपाणयः युयुत्सवः स्थिता यक्षा मुकुटं परिवार्य तम्
Thus resolved, the formidable Yakshas, eager for combat and armed with various weapons and missiles, stood surrounding the crown.
अभिमानधना वीरा धनदस्य पदानुगाः तानमर्षाच्च सम्प्रेक्ष्य दानवश्चण्डपौरुषः
Proud and wealthy heroes, attendants of the lord of wealth, stood there; seeing them, the fierce and mighty demon was filled with wrath.
भुशुण्डीं भैरवाकारां गृहीत्वा शैलगौरवाम् रक्षिणो मुकुटस्याथ निष्पिपेष निशाचरान्
Seizing a Bhushundi weapon, terrifying in form and heavy as a mountain, he crushed the night-wandering guardians of the crown.
तान्प्रमथ्याथ दनुजो मुकुटं तत्स्वके रथे समारोप्यामररिपुर् जित्वा धनदमाहवे
Having scattered them, the demon placed the crown on his own chariot; conquering the lord of wealth in battle, the foe of the gods triumphed.
धनानि रत्नानि च मूर्तिमन्ति तथा निधानानि शरीरिणश्च आदाय सर्वाणि जगाम दैत्यो जम्भः स्वसैन्यं दनुजेन्द्रसिंहः धनाधिपो वै विनिकीर्णमूर्धजो जगाम दीनः सुरभर्तुरन्तिकम्
Taking all the treasures, jewels, embodied riches, and living beings, the demon Jambha, lion among the Daitya kings, departed with his army; the lord of wealth, his hair disheveled, went dejected to the lord of the gods.
