महेंद्रजालमास्ताय चक्रे भीषणां तनुम् १९.
Assuming the great illusion of Indra, he took on a terrifying form.
तताप दानवानीकं गलन्मज्जाङ्घ्रिशोणितम् १९.
He tormented the army of the Dānavas, with marrow, limbs, and blood flowing.
गजानामगलन्मेदः पेतुश्चापि रथा भुवि १९.
The fat of elephants melted away, and chariots too fell to the ground.
इतश्चेतश्च सलिलं प्रार्थयंतस्तृषातुराः १९.
Here and there, tormented by thirst, they sought water.
तेषां प्रार्थयतां शीघ्रमन्योन्यं च विसर्पिणाम् १९.
As they swiftly begged each other for water, they spread out.
तोयार्थिनः पुरो दृष्ट्वा तोयं कल्लो लमालितम् १९.
Longing for water, they saw before them water, clear and rippling.
अप्राप्य सलिलं भूमावभ्याशे द्रुतमेव ते १९.
But unable to reach the water, they quickly fell to the ground nearby.
रथा गजाश्च पतितास्तुरंगाश्च श्रमान्विताः १९.
Chariots, elephants, and horses, exhausted, collapsed.
दानवानां कोटिकोटि व्यदृश्यतमृतं तदा १९.
Then countless millions of Dānavas appeared lifeless.
प्रकोपोद्भूतताम्राक्षः कालनेमी रुषातुरः १९.
Kalanemi, his eyes reddened with wrath, overcome by anger, was seen.
गंभीरास्फोटनिर्ह्रादजगद्धृदयकंपनः १९.
With a deep, resounding crash that made the heart of the world tremble.
ववर्ष शीतं च जलं दानवेन्द्रबलं प्रति १९.
He poured down cold water upon the army of the lord of the Dānavas.
बीजांकुरा इव म्लानाः प्राप्य वृष्टिं धरातले १९.
Like seeds and sprouts that wither when struck by rain upon the earth.
शस्त्रवृष्टिं ववर्षोग्रां देवनीकेषु दुर्जयः १९.
He rained a fierce shower of weapons upon the invincible hosts of the gods.
गतिं कांचिन्न पश्यन्ति गावः शीतार्दिता इव रथेषु च भयत्रस्तास्तत्रतत्र निलिल्यिरे॥ १९.
They could see no way forward, like cows afflicted by cold; terrified, they hid here and there among the chariots.
एवं ते लीयमानाश्च निहताः कालने मिना १९.
Thus, as they were being destroyed, they perished, seized by Death.
विभिन्ना भिन्नमूर्धानस्तथा भिन्नोरुजानवः १९.
Some were split open, their heads shattered, and others had their limbs broken.
तुरंगाणां सहस्राणि गजानामयुतानि च १९.
Thousands of horses and tens of thousands of elephants.
एवमाजौ महादैत्यः कालनेमिर्महासुरः १९.
In this way, on the battlefield, the great demon Kālanemi, the mighty asura—
यक्षाणां पंचलक्षाणि किंनराणां तथैव च १९.
Five hundred thousand Yakṣas, and just as many Kinnaras,
इतरेषां न संख्यास्ति सुरजातिनिकायिनाम् १९.
The numbers of the other hosts of divine beings could not be counted.
एवं प्रतिभये भीमे तदामर महाक्षये १९.
Thus, in that dreadful and terrifying destruction of the immortals,
जघ्नतुस्तौ रणे दैत्यमेकैकं षष्टिभिः शरैः १९.
Those two struck each demon in battle with sixty arrows each.
ताभ्यां बाणप्रहारैस्तु किंचित्सोऽवाप्तचेतनः १९.
Wounded by their blows of arrows, he was only barely conscious.
तेन चक्रेण सोश्विभ्यां चिच्छेद रथकूबरम् १९.
With that discus, along with his horses, he cut apart the axle of the chariot.
ववर्ष भिषजोर्मूर्ध्नि संछाद्याकाशगोचरम् १९.
He rained down upon the heads of the two physicians, covering the expanse of the sky.
तच्च करम तयोर्दृष्ट्वा विस्मितः कोपमाविशत् १९.
Seeing that feat accomplished by them, he was astonished and filled with anger.
स तदमुद्भ्राम्य वेगेन चिक्षेपास्य रथं प्रति १९.
He then, whirling it with force, hurled it at their chariot.
मुक्त्वा रथावुभौ वेगादाप्लुतौ तरसाश्विनौ १९.
The two Ashvins, leaping swiftly, abandoned both chariots with speed.
दारयामास धरणीं हेमजालपरिष्कृतः १९.
Adorned with golden filigree, he tore open the earth.
