ततो महूर्तमात्रेण ग्रसनः प्राप्य चेतनाम् १७.
Then, within a single moment, Grasana regained consciousness.
स चापि चिंतयामास कृतप्रतिकृतक्रियाम् १७.
He began to reflect on the deeds done and those repaid.
मय्याश्रितानि सैन्यानि जिते मयि जितानि च १७.
The armies dependent on me, once I am conquered, are also defeated.
संभावितस्त्वशक्तश्चेत्तस्य नायं परोऽपि वा १७.
If I, though honored, am powerless, then neither this one nor another can prevail.
मुद्गरं कालदण्डाभं गृहीत्वा गिरिसंनिभम् १७.
He seized a mace, resembling the rod of Time and as massive as a mountain.
रथेन त्वरितोऽगच्छदाससादांतकं रणे १७.
Hastening in his chariot, he approached Yama, the Ender, on the battlefield.
वेगेन महता रौद्रं चिक्षेप यममूर्धनि १७.
With great speed, he hurled the fierce mace at the head of Yama.
वंचयामास दुर्द्धर्षं मुद्गरं तं महाबलः १७.
The mighty one evaded that formidable mace, difficult to withstand.
याम्यानां किंकराणां च अयुतं निष्पिपेष ह १७.
He crushed ten thousand of Yama’s attendants.
दशार्बुदमिता क्रुद्धा ग्रसनायान्वधावत १७.
Enraged, Grasana pursued after a hundred million more.
मेने यमसहस्राणि तादृग्रूपबला हि सा १७.
For she was of such form and strength, she considered them to be thousands of Yamas.
कल्पांतघोरसंकाशो बभूव स महारणः १७.
That great battle became like the terror at the end of an age.
पिपिषुर्गदया केचित्कोचिन्मुद्गरवृष्टिभिः १७.
Some sought to crush with maces, others with showers of clubs.
अपरे किंकरास्तस्य ललंबुर्बाहुमंडले १७.
Other attendants of his clung to her arm-circlet.
तस्यापरे च गात्रेषु दशनांश्चन्यपातयन् १७.
And on other parts of her body, they struck with their teeth.
एवं चाभिद्रुतस्तैः स ग्रसनः क्रोधमूर्छितः १७.
Thus, attacked by them, that Grasana, overwhelmed with anger, rushed forward.
कांश्चिदुत्थाय जघ्नेऽसौ मुष्टिभिः किंकरान्रणे १७.
Rising up, he struck some of the attendants in battle with his fists.
क्षणैकेन स तान्निन्ये यमलोकायभारत १७.
In a single moment, he sent them to the realm of Yama, O Bharata.
तमालोक्य यमोऽश्रांतं श्रांतंस्तांश्च हतान्स्वकान् १७.
Seeing Grasana tireless, and his own slain exhausted followers,
ग्रसनस्तु तमायांतमाजघ्ने गदयोरसि १७.
Grasana, as Yama approached, struck him in the chest with his mace.
व्याघ्रान्दंडेन संजघ्ने स रथान्न्य पतद्भुवि १७.
He struck the tigers with his staff, and the chariots fell to the ground.
वायुवेगेन सहसा ययौ यमरथं प्रति १७.
With the speed of the wind, he suddenly advanced toward Yama's chariot.
योधयामास बाहुभ्यामाकृष्य बलिनां वरः १७.
He began to fight with his arms, pulling, being the foremost among the strong.
ग्रसनं कटिवस्त्रे तु यमं गृह्य बलोत्कटः १७.
Grasana, powerful, seized Yama by his waist cloth.
विमोच्याथ यमः कष्टात्कंठेऽवष्टभ्य चासुरम् १७.
Then Yama, freeing himself from the hardship, grasped the demon by the throat.
ततो जघ्नतुरन्योन्यं मुष्टिभिर्निर्दयौ च तौ १७.
Then those two mercilessly struck each other with their fists.
स्कंधे निधाय दैत्यस्य मुखं विश्रांतिमैच्छत १७.
Placing the demon's face on his shoulder, he sought rest.
निष्पिपेष महीपृष्ठे विनिघ्नन्पार्ष्णिपाणिभिः १७.
He crushed him on the earth's surface, striking with his heels and hands.
निर्जीवमिति तं दृष्ट्वा ततः संत्यज्य दानवः १७.
Seeing him lifeless, the demon then abandoned him.
स्वकं सैन्यं समासाद्य तस्थौ गिरिरिवाचलः॥ १७.
Reaching his own army, he stood firm like an immovable mountain.
