जालंधरोऽथ संक्रुद्धो विध्यन्बाणैः सहस्रशः । धनुः शरान्रथं छत्रं सारथिं तिलशः शरैः
Jalandhara, now furious, pierced with thousands of arrows the bow, arrows, chariot, umbrella, and charioteer of Virabhadra, breaking them to pieces.
चकार वीरभद्रस्य सिंधुसूनुः प्रतापवान् । वीरभद्रोऽथ विरथो हतवान्गदयाब्धिजम्
The powerful son of the ocean did this to Virabhadra, but then Virabhadra, deprived of his chariot, struck the ocean-born with his mace.
तथैव गदया सोऽपि तं हत्वापातयद्भुवि । गदाप्रहारपतितमालोक्यातिविमूर्च्छितम्
Likewise, with his mace, he struck him down to the ground; seeing him fallen from the blow of the mace, he was deeply stunned.
मणिभद्रोऽथ समरे जालंधरमधावत । अतिक्रुद्धं तमायांतं दृष्ट्वा दैत्यो महारणे
Then Manibhadra rushed at Jalandhara in battle; seeing him approach in great anger, the asura in the great war—
शरैर्व्यस्तोपकरणं स चकार नदीसुतः । अथ मूर्च्छां परित्यज्य उत्तस्थौ सिंहवन्नदन्
The son of the river rendered his opponent's weapons useless with arrows; then, abandoning his faint, he rose up, roaring like a lion.
वीरभद्रस्ततः कोपान्मणिभद्रः प्रतापवान् । जघ्नतुः पर्वताभ्यां तौ व्योमस्थं तटिनीसुतम्
Then, out of anger, the mighty Virabhadra and Manibhadra struck the river's son, who was in the sky, with mountains.
तदंगे पतितौ दृष्ट्वा पर्वतौ विनिनद्य च । जघान मुष्टिपातेन वीरभद्रो नदीसुतम्
Seeing the mountains fall upon his body and hearing their crash, Virabhadra struck the river's son with a blow of his fist.
मणिभद्रश्चरणयोर्धृत्वा सागरनंदनम् । स्यंदनाद्भ्रामयामास तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्
Manibhadra, seizing the son of the ocean by the feet, whirled him from the chariot; it was as if something marvelous had occurred.
मणिभद्र गृहीतोऽपि दैत्यराट्स महाबलः । हत्वा चरणघातेन मणिभद्रमपातयत्
Even when seized by Manibhadra, the mighty king of the asuras struck down Manibhadra with a blow of his foot.
जालंधरो महाबाहुर्वीरभद्रं च मुष्टिना । अथागतः परिवृतो गणैर्वै नंदिकेश्वरः
Jalandhara, strong-armed, struck Virabhadra with his fist; then Nandikeshvara arrived, surrounded by his hosts.
शुंभस्तमागतं दृष्ट्वा रुरोध सह सैनिकैः । द्वंद्वयुद्धैरथाजग्मुर्गणा दैत्यैः परस्परम्
Seeing him arrive, Shumbha blocked him along with his soldiers; then the hosts and the asuras engaged each other in single combat.
शुंभः शिलादजं राहुर्महाकालं रणे ययौ । कोलाहलं निशुंभोऽथ केतुः कालमधावत
Shumbha fought Shiladaja, Rahu fought Mahakala in battle; then Nishumbha fought Kolahala, and Ketu rushed at Kala.
शैलोदरो गुहं जंभो माल्यवंतं महाबलः । महापार्श्वो ययौ चंडं चंडीशो रोमकंटकम्
Shailodara fought Guha, the mighty Jambha fought Malyavan; Mahaparsva fought Chanda, and Chandisha fought Romakantaka.
विकटास्योऽथ वै भृंगिमुरुनेत्रो विनायकम् । एवं दैत्येश्वरैः सार्द्धं गणानामधिपा ययुः
Then Vikatashya fought Bhringi, Murunetra fought Vinayaka; thus, the leaders of the hosts engaged the lords of the asuras.
अथ शुंभायुधैर्बाणैः प्रहतश्च शिलादजः । चूर्णीचकाराद्रिशृंगैः कपितुंडो महत्तरैः
Then Shiladaja, struck by Shumbha's weapons and arrows, shattered him with great mountain peaks, like the beak of a great bird.
शुंभस्तेनार्दितः शक्त्या शिलादं च जघान तम् । महाकालो जघानाथ तं राहुं रणमूर्द्धनि
Shumbha, wounded by him, struck Shilada with a spear and killed him; then Mahakala killed Rahu at the head of the battle.
शक्त्याथ तस्य हतवान्स्यंदनं स महाद्रिणा । कोलाहलो हतः शक्त्या निशुंभेन प्रतापवान्
Then, with his power, Kolāhala destroyed the chariot of Niśumbha, the mighty one; Kolāhala was struck down by Niśumbha's prowess.
शक्तिं गृहीत्वा ह्यहनद्रथं सारथिना सह । विरथेनाथ दैत्येन भृशं क्रुद्धेन संयुगे
Taking up a spear, he attacked the chariot along with its charioteer; the demon, now without a chariot and greatly enraged, fought fiercely in battle.
कोलाहलो सुरेंद्रेण सहस्रफणिना हतः । तं हत्वा चातिवेगेन रथं चान्यमुपागतः
Kolāhala was slain by Indra, the lord of the gods, with the thousand-headed serpent; after killing him with great speed, Indra approached another chariot.
फणिचक्रहतः संख्ये क्षणान्मूर्च्छां विहाय च । स्वरथात्शीघ्रमुत्तीर्य गृहीत्वा खड्गचर्मणी
Struck by the serpent-disc in battle, he quickly recovered from unconsciousness; leaping swiftly from his own chariot, he seized sword and shield.
सर्वं चक्रे निशुंभस्य स रथाद्यसिना पृथक् । पुनः स्वरथमारुह्य दैत्यं बाणैरताडयत्
With his sword, he separated everything belonging to Niśumbha from the chariot; then, mounting his own chariot again, he struck the demon with arrows.
निशुंभोऽप्यतिरोषाच्च तत्पराक्रमविस्मितः । शक्त्या महाबलस्तस्य रथं साश्वं न्यषूदयत्
Niśumbha, overwhelmed by intense anger and astonished at that display of valor, with his great strength, shattered his opponent's chariot and horses with a spear.
कोलाहलो रणे धावन्निशुंभं विरथो बली । गतः स सरथं चक्रे विरथं भुजबंधनात्
Kolāhala, powerful and now without a chariot, rushed at Niśumbha in battle; he reached the chariot, and made Niśumbha chariotless by binding his arms.
केतुपुच्छं गृहीत्वा च भ्रामयामास चांबरे । कालश्चिक्षेप सोऽप्यद्रिं स चिच्छेद गिरिं जवात्
Grabbing the banner's tail, he spun it in the sky; Kāla hurled a mountain, and he swiftly cut the mountain apart.
तं नगं चूर्णितं दृष्ट्वा ताडयामास मुष्टिना । कालश्चूर्णितसर्वांगः केतुना प्राद्रवद्भयात्
Seeing the mountain shattered, he struck Kāla with his fist; Kāla, his whole body crushed, fled in fear from the banner.
शैलोदरस्तथा स्कंदं जघान गदयोरसि । षडाननोऽपि तं शक्त्या हत्वा भूमावपातयत्
Śailodara struck Skanda's chest with his mace; the six-faced one killed him with a spear and cast him to the ground.
शक्तिप्रहारेण मृतं दानवं वीक्ष्य षण्मुखः । जगर्ज तत्र वैचित्र्यं यथा क्रौंचे विदारिते
Seeing the demon dead from the spear's blow, Ṣaṇmukha roared there in wonder, as when a crane is pierced.
माल्यवानथ बाणौघैर्जंभमभ्यर्दयद्रणे । जंभोऽपि सायकैस्तीक्ष्णैर्भित्त्वा तं मूर्च्छितं जहौ
Mālyavān then assailed Jambha in battle with showers of arrows; Jambha, too, pierced him with sharp shafts, and left him unconscious.
महापार्श्वो रथं धृत्वा बाणौघैर्वाजिवर्जितम् । लीलयैव च खे नीत्वा व्यश्वं चंडमपातयत्
Mahāpārśva seized a chariot, and with showers of arrows deprived it of its horses; then, effortlessly, he carried it through the sky and cast Caṇḍa from it.
व्यश्वं रथं विलोक्याथ ततश्चंडोऽग्रहीद्गजम् । आपतंतं महापार्श्वं चंडस्तं गदयाहनत्
Seeing the chariot without horses, Caṇḍa then seized an elephant; as Mahāpārśva approached, Caṇḍa struck him with a mace.
