इति ब्रवन्रणे दैत्यं मथनं प्रति सोऽगमत् २०.
Speaking thus in battle, he advanced toward the demon Mathana.
जघान भिंडिपालेन शितधारेण वक्षसि २०.
He struck Mathana on the chest with a sharp-edged mace.
जघान पंचभिर्बाणैर्गिरींद्रस्यापि भेदकैः २०.
He slew five with arrows that could pierce even the lord of mountains.
विचेतनो मुहूर्तात्स संस्तभ्य मथनः पुनः २०.
Mathana, unconscious for a moment, regained composure once more.
विष्णुस्तेन प्रहारेण किंचिदाघूर्णितोऽभवत् २०.
By that blow, Vishnu was somewhat shaken.
तया संताडयामास मथनं हृदये दृढम् २०.
With that, he struck Mathana firmly in the heart.
तस्मिन्निपतिते भूमौ मथने मथिते भृशम् २०.
When it fell to the ground, the churning was stirred intensely.
ततस्तेषु विषण्णेषु दानवेष्वतिमानिषु २०.
Then, as the arrogant demons became disheartened among them,
प्रत्युद्ययौ हरिं रौद्रः स्वबाहुबलमाश्रितः २०.
A fierce one advanced against Hari, relying on the strength of his own arms.
शक्त्या च गरुडं वीरो हृदयेऽभ्यहनद्दृढम् २०.
And the hero struck Garuda firmly in the heart with his spear.
ग्रस्तुमैच्छद्रणे दैत्यः सगरुत्मंतमच्युतम् २०.
The demon, together with Garuda and the infallible one, sought to devour in battle.
वदनं पूरयामास दिव्यैस्त्रैर्महाबलः २०.
The mighty one filled his mouth with three divine beings.
परिवर्तितकायार्धः पपाताथ ममार च २०.
With half his body turned, he fell and then died.
महिषं प्राह मत्तस्त्वं वधं नार्हसि दानव २०.
He said to the buffalo: 'You are intoxicated; demon, you do not deserve death.'
उत्तिष्ठ गच्छ मन्मुक्तो द्रुतमस्मान्महारणात् २०.
'Rise, go, released by me; swiftly depart from this great battle.'
तस्मिन्पराङ्मुखे दैत्ये महिषे शुंभदानवः २०.
As the demon turned away, Shumbha the demon approached the buffalo.
निर्मध्य पाणिना पाणिं धनुरादाय भैरवम् २०.
Crushing hand against hand, he took up the dreadful bow.
स चित्रयोधी दृढमुष्टिपातस्ततश्व विष्णुं च दैत्यः २०.
That skilled warrior, with a strong fist-blow, then struck Vishnu, the demon.
विष्णुश्च दैत्येंद्रशरार्दितो भृशं भुशुंडिमादाय कृतांततुल्याम् २०.
And Vishnu, greatly afflicted by the demon king's arrows, seized a mace equal to the end of time.
ततस्त्रिभिः शंभुभुजं द्विषष्ट्या सूतस्य शीर्षं दशक्षिश्च केतुम् २०.
Then, with three arrows at Shambhu's arm, sixty-two at the charioteer's head, and ten at the banner,
स तैश्च विद्धो व्यथितो बभूव दैत्येश्वरो विस्रुतशोणिताक्तः २०.
Pierced by those, the lord of demons became distressed, his fame stained with blood.
योषित्सुवध्योऽसि रणं विभुंच शुंभाऽशुभ स्वल्पतरैरहोभिः २०.
'You are fit to be slain by a woman; Shumbha, the mighty, will destroy you in battle in just a few days.'
जम्भोऽथ तद्विष्णुमुखान्निशम्य जगर्ज चोच्चैः कृतसिंहनादः २०.
Then Jambha, hearing those words from Vishnu's mouth, roared loudly, making a lion's cry.
किमेभिस्ते जलावास दैत्यैर्हीनपराक्रमैः २०.
'What use are these water-dwelling demons, lacking valor?'
यत्ते पूर्वं हता दैत्या हिरण्याक्षमुखाः किल २०.
Those Daityas whom you slew before, beginning with Hiraṇyākṣa—
पश्य तालप्रती काशौ भुजावेतौ हरे मम २०.
See, O Hari, these two arms of mine are like palm trees.
इत्युक्तः केशवस्तेन सृक्किणी संलिहन्रुषा २०.
Thus addressed by him, Keśava, in anger, licked his lips.
ततस्तस्याप्यनुपदं कालायसमयं दृढम् २०.
Then, following him closely, he took up a strong iron mace.
तदायुधद्वयं दृष्ट्वा जंभो न्यस्य रथे धनुः २०.
Seeing those two weapons, Jambha set aside his bow on the chariot.
द्वितीयं मुद्गरं चानु गृहीत्वा विनदन्रणे २०.
Then, taking up a second mace, he roared in the battle.
