चक्रैश्च शक्तिभिश्चैव तोमरैरंकुशैरपि १७.
With discs, javelins, darts, and also with goads,
भल्लैर्वेतसपत्रैश्च शुकतुंडैश्च निर्मलैः १७.
With arrows, cane shafts, and pure, sharp-tipped weapons,
संप्रच्छाद्य दिशः सर्वास्तमोमयमिवाभवत् १७.
Covering all directions, it became as if enveloped in darkness.
अदृश्यभूतास्तमसि न्यकृंतंत परस्परम् १७.
Invisible in the gloom, they struck each other mutually.
गजैस्तुरंगैः पादातैः पतद्भिः पतितैरपि १७.
With elephants, horses, foot soldiers, those falling and those already fallen,
भग्नदंता भिन्नकुंभाश्छिन्नदीर्घमहाकराः १७.
With broken tusks, shattered skulls, and severed long, massive arms,
भग्नैषाश्च रथाः पेतुर्भग्नाक्षाः शकलीकृताः १७.
Broken chariots fell, their axles shattered and reduced to fragments.
ततः शोणितनद्यश्च हर्षदाः पिशिताशिनाम् १७.
Then rivers of blood flowed, bringing delight to the flesh-eaters.
तस्मिंस्तथाविधे युद्धे सेनानीर्ग्रसनोऽरिहा १७.
In that fierce battle, Grasana, the destroyer of enemies, confronted the commander.
ततो ग्रसनमालोक्य यमः क्रोधविमूर्छितः १७.
Then, seeing Grasana, Yama was overcome with wrath.
स विद्धो बहुभिर्षाणैर्ग्रसनोऽतिपराक्रमः १७.
Though struck by many arrows, Grasana, of great valor, remained undaunted.
शरैः सहस्रैश्च पञ्चलक्षैश्चैव व्यताडयत् १७.
He struck with thousands and even five hundred thousand arrows.
बाणवृष्टिभिरुग्राभिर्यमो ग्रसनमर्दयत् चिच्छेद शरवर्षेण ग्रसनो दानवेश्वरः॥ १७.
Yama assailed Grasana with fierce showers of arrows; Grasana, lord of the Daityas, cut them down with a rain of his own.
विफलां तां समालोक्य यमः स्वशरसंततिम्॥ १७.
Seeing his stream of arrows rendered fruitless, Yama—
प्राहिणोन्मुद्गरं दीप्तं ग्रसनस्य रथं प्रति १७.
—hurled a blazing mace at Grasana’s chariot.
जग्राह वामहस्तेन लीलया ग्रसनोऽरिहा १७.
Grasana, the destroyer of enemies, caught it effortlessly with his left hand.
ताडयामास वेगेन स पपात महीतले १७.
He struck with force, and it fell to the ground.
प्रासेन ताडयामास ग्रसनं वदने दृढम् १७.
With a spear, he struck Grasana firmly in the face.
ग्रसनं पतित दृष्ट्वा जंभो भीमपराक्रमः १७.
Seeing Grasana fallen, Jambha, of terrible might—
यमस्तेन प्रहारेण सुस्राव रुधिरं मुखात् १७.
By that blow, blood flowed from Yama’s mouth.
कृतांतमर्दितं दृष्ट्वा गदापाणिर्धनादिपः १७.
Seeing Death overpowered, the lord of wealth, mace in hand—
जंभो रुषा तमायांतं दानवा नीकसंवृतः १७.
Jambha, surrounded by Danava troops, advanced in anger.
ग्रसनो लब्धसंज्ञोऽथ यमस्य प्राहिणोद्गदाम् १७.
Then Grasana, regaining consciousness, hurled a mace at Yama.
तामापतंतीं संप्रेक्ष्य गदां महिषवाहनः १७.
Seeing that mace hurtling toward him, the buffalo-rider—
दंडं मुमोच कोपेन ज्वालामालासमाकुलम् १७.
—released his staff in anger, blazing with garlands of flames.
संवट्टश्चाभवत्ताभ्यां शैलाभ्यामिव दुःसहः १७.
By those two weapons, a cataclysm arose, as unbearable as two mountains.
जगद्व्याकुलतां यातं प्रलयागमशंकया १७.
The world fell into turmoil, fearing the arrival of dissolution.
निष्पेषणं तयोर्भीमम भूद्गनगोचरम् १७.
A terrible crushing between the two took place, shaking the mountain realm.
पपात पौरुषं हत्वा यथा दैवं पुरार्जितम् १७.
Having vanquished human strength, as if fate previously acquired, he fell.
पपात भूमौ निःसंज्ञो भूमिरेणुविभूषितः १७.
He collapsed unconscious upon the earth, adorned with dust from the ground.
