त्रिभिर्बिभेद बाणैश्च ललाटे हृदि पंचभिः। सप्तभिर्जठरे नाभौ बस्तौ तस्य स पंचभिः
Pierced him with three arrows on the forehead, five in the heart, seven in the belly, and five in the navel and bladder.
शरैः संपातितो दैत्यो मुग्धः कश्मलतां गतः। शिथिलीकृतचापश्च लेभे संज्ञां चिराद्बली
Struck by arrows, the daitya fell, bewildered and overcome by faintness; his bow loosened, the mighty one regained consciousness after a long time.
मधुसंज्ञं त्रिभिर्बाणैस्स बिभेद सुरोत्तमम्। चकर्त्त धनुरस्त्रैश्च दैत्यराजस्य पश्यतः
With three arrows he pierced Madhusaṃjña, the best of the gods, and, as the daitya king looked on, cut his bow with weapons.
ततो बाणसहस्रैस्तु कालांतकसमप्रभैः। बिभेद दैत्यसिंहं तु सुराणामुत्तमो बली
Then, with thousands of arrows shining like the end of time, the mighty best of the gods pierced the lion among daityas.
हतचेताः स दैत्येंद्रो बहुशोणितसंस्रवः। विह्वलो बहुबाणार्तः शूलं जग्राह दानवः
His senses slain, the daitya lord, flowing with much blood, overwhelmed and tormented by many arrows, seized a spear.
शूलहस्तस्य तस्यैव चतुर्भिस्तुरगान्शरैः। हत्वा च पातयामास त्रिभिर्यंतारमेव च
With four arrows he slew the horses of that spear-wielder, and with three more he struck down the charioteer.
जघान शूलमुर्वीष्ठस्ततो गंधर्वसत्तमम्। विचकर्त्त त्रिभिर्बाणैः शूलं चित्ररथो बली
Then, as he stood on the ground, he struck with the spear at the best of Gandharvas; but Citraratha, the mighty one, cut the spear with three arrows.
शूलं च नष्टकं दृष्ट्वा हतभोगमिवोरगम्। गृहीत्वा मुद्गरं घोरं प्रदुद्राव सुरं बली
Seeing the spear destroyed, like a serpent deprived of its hood, he seized a terrible mace and rushed at the god, powerful as he was.
स मुद्गरं समायातं दैत्यसेनाधिपं तदा। विचकर्त्त शिरो देहादर्धचंद्रेण संभ्रमात्
Then, with the half-moon-shaped mace, he struck the head of the demon army leader, severing it from the body in his agitation.
स पपात महीपृष्ठे संचचाल वसुंधरा। ततो दैत्यगणाः सर्वे विमुखा विप्रदुद्रुवुः
He fell upon the earth, and the ground trembled; then all the hosts of demons turned away and fled in fear.
व्यास उवाच- भ्रातरं निहतं दृष्ट्वा कालेयो नाम दानवः। चित्ररथं प्रदुद्राव धृत्वा बाणं सकार्मुकम्
Vyāsa said: Seeing his brother slain, the demon named Kāleya rushed toward Citraratha, holding a bow with an arrow ready.
दृष्ट्वासुरं विधावंतं कालमृत्युसमप्रभम्। अरौत्सीत्तं महावीर्यो जयंतः पाकशासनिः
Seeing the demon fleeing, fierce as Death itself, the mighty Jayanta, son of Indra, challenged him.
अब्रवीच्च महातेजा दैतेयं सुरसत्तमः। तथ्यं धर्माभिसंयुक्तं लोकद्वयहितं ध्रुवम्
The illustrious best of the gods spoke to the demon, words true, joined with righteousness, and certainly for the welfare of both worlds.
शस्त्राभिघातदुःखार्तं कश्मलं चान्यसंयुतम्। प्रभग्नं च निरस्तं च यो हंति स च बालिशः
One who kills another who is afflicted by the pain of weapons, overwhelmed by distress, broken and cast aside, is indeed foolish.
सुचिरं रौरवं भुक्त्वा तस्य दासो भवेच्चिरम्। तस्मान्मामुं प्रयुध्यस्व युद्धधर्मस्थितो भव
After long suffering in Raurava hell, he will become that one's servant for a long time; therefore, fight me, and stand firm in the law of battle.
जयंतमब्रवीद्वाक्यं कालेयः क्रोधमूर्च्छितः। निहत्य भ्रातृहंतारमथ त्वांहन्मि सांप्रतम्
Kāleya, overcome with anger, spoke to Jayanta: 'Having killed my brother's slayer, now I will kill you as well.'
ततस्तं चासुरश्रेष्ठं कालानलसमप्रभम्। जयंतो निशितैर्बाणैर्जघान सुरसत्तमः
Then Jayanta, the foremost of gods, struck that chief of demons, blazing like the fire of destruction, with sharp arrows.
निचकर्त्त शरान्सोपि त्रिभिर्विव्याध चासुरः। यथावृष्टिगणं प्राप्य नदी गैरिकवाहिनी
He cut down the arrows, and the demon pierced him with three; just as a river carrying red clay receives a multitude of rains.
तथा तौ च महावीर्यौ न क्षीणौ न च कातरौ। न शर्म परिलेभाते परस्परजयैषिणौ
Thus, both mighty warriors neither weakened nor fearful, found no comfort, each seeking victory over the other.
अथ तस्य च दैत्यस्य धनुश्चिच्छेद चेषुणा। यंतारं पंचभिर्बाणैः पातयामास भूतले
Then, with an arrow, he cut the demon's bow, and with five arrows made his charioteer fall to the ground.
अष्टाभिर्निशितैर्बाणैश्चतुरोश्वानपातयात्। शक्तिं संगृह्य भूमिष्ठः कुमारं च जघान ह
With eight sharp arrows, he brought down four horses; taking up a spear, standing on the earth, he struck the prince.
गदया पीडितं साश्वं सवरूथं सकूबरम्। पातयित्वा धरण्यां च सिंहनादं ननाद ह
Struck with the mace, along with his horses, chariot, and banner, he was thrown to the ground, and roared like a lion.
लाघवात्स धरां गत्वा गदापाणिरुपस्थितः। वज्रपाताद्यथा शब्दो लोकानां दुःसहो भवेत्
With agility, he reached the ground, mace in hand; the sound was as unbearable to the worlds as the thunderbolt's strike.
तथा तयोर्गदापाते शब्दः स्यात्तु मुहुर्मुहुः। एवं तयोर्गदायुद्धं यावदब्दचतुष्टयम्
Thus, the sound of their mace blows echoed again and again; their mace battle continued for four years.
प्रभग्ने ते गदे खस्थौ खड्गचर्मधरावुभौ। तदा पदातिनोर्युद्धमद्भुतं लोमहर्षणं
When their maces were broken, both stood in the sky, wielding sword and shield; then the battle of the foot soldiers was wondrous and hair-raising.
दृष्ट्वा च विस्मयं जग्मुर्देवासुरमहोरगाः। खड्गपातैर्मुहूर्तांते तयोश्छिन्ने तु वर्मणी
Seeing this, the gods, demons, and great serpents were astonished; at the end of the moment, their armor was cut by sword blows.
अभवत्खड्गयुद्धं च तयोर्युद्धातिशीलिनोः। दधार चिकुरे तस्य जयंतो भीमविक्रमः
A fierce sword-fight arose between those two, both skilled in battle; Jayanta of terrible valor seized him by the hair.
शिरश्छित्वास्य खड्गेन पातयामास भूतले। ततस्तु जयशब्देन देवाः सर्वे ननंदिरे
He struck off his head with the sword and cast it to the ground; then, with cries of victory, all the gods rejoiced.
प्रभग्ना दैत्यसंघाश्च दिशः सर्वाः प्रदुद्रुवुः
The ranks of demons were shattered and fled in all directions.
इति श्रीपाद्मपुराणे प्रथमे सृष्टिखंडे कालेयवधोनाम षट्षष्टितमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the sixty-sixth chapter, called 'The Slaying of Kāleya,' in the first section of the glorious Padma Purāṇa.
