तस्थौ दिक्पालकैः सार्धमष्टभिः केशवेन च २१.
He stood together with the eight guardians of the directions and with Keśava.
तावच्छक्रगजो भीतो मुक्त्वा नादं सुभैरवम् २१.
Then the elephant of Indra, terrified, let out a most dreadful roar.
पलायति गजे तस्मिन्नारूढः पाकशासनः २१.
As that elephant fled, Indra, the lord of the gods, was still mounted upon it.
शतक्र तुस्तु शूलेन निमिं वक्षस्यताडयत् २१.
Śatakratu struck Nimi in the chest with his trident.
तं प्रहारचिंत्यैव निमिर्निर्भयपौरुषः २१.
Unshaken by the blow, Nimi stood firm, fearless and resolute.
स हतो मुद्गरेणाथ शक्रकुञ्जर आहवे २१.
Then, in the battle, Indra's elephant was slain by a mace.
लाघवात्क्षिप्रमुत्थाय ततोऽमरमहागजः २१.
Then, due to his lightness, the great elephant of the gods quickly rose up.
ततो वायुर्ववौ रूक्षो बहुशर्करपांशुलः स्रुतरक्तो बभौ शैलो घनधातुह्रदो यता॥ २१.
After that, a harsh wind blew, laden with much sand and gravel; the mountain appeared blood-soaked, like a lake of dense ore.
धनेशोऽपि गदां गुर्वी तस्य दानवहस्तिनः २१.
The Lord of Wealth also took up his heavy mace against the elephant of the demon.
गजो गदानिपातेन स तेन परिमूर्छितः २१.
Struck by that mace, the elephant was rendered unconscious.
पतिते च गजे तस्मिन्सिंहनादो महानभूत् २१.
When that elephant fell, a great lion-roar arose.
हेषारवेण चाश्वानां राणास्फोटैश्च धन्विनाम् २१.
There was the neighing of horses and the thunderous sounds of bowmen in battle.
सुराणां सिंहनादं च सन्नादितदिगंतरम् २१.
The lion-roar of the gods resounded, filling all directions.
ततः स कोपरक्ताक्षो ध्नुष्यारोप्य सायकम् २१.
Then, his eyes red with anger, he fitted an arrow to his bow.
तमायांतमभिप्रेक्ष्य धनुष्याहितसा यकम् २१.
Seeing him approach, with the arrow set to the bow,
बाणं च तैलधौताग्रमर्धचंद्रमजिह्मगम्॥ २१.
The arrow had an oiled, polished tip, was half-moon shaped, and slightly curved.
तेनास्यट सशरं चापं चिच्छेद बलवृत्रहा २१.
With that, the mighty slayer of Vṛtra cut his bow and arrow.
अन्यत्कार्मुकादाय वेगवद्भारसाधनम् २१.
Taking up another bow, strong and swift,
शक्रं विव्याध दशभिर्जत्रुदेशे च पत्रिबिः २१.
He struck Śakra with ten feathered arrows at the region of the collarbone.
शक्रोपि दानवेन्द्राय बाणजालम भीरयन् २१.
Śakra, too, unleashed a terrifying shower of arrows at the lord of the demons.
चिच्छेद शतधाऽऽकाशे शरैरग्निशिखोपमैः २१.
He cut them apart in the sky into a hundred pieces with arrows like tongues of fire.
आच्छादयत यत्नेन वर्षास्विव घनैर्नभः २१.
With effort, he covered the sky as clouds do during the rains.
यथा वायुर्घनाटोपं यदवार्यं दिशां मुखे २१.
Just as the wind disperses dense clouds at the meeting of the directions,
दानवेन्द्रं तदा चक्रे गंधर्वास्त्रं महाद्भुतम् २१.
Then, the lord of the demons employed the wondrous Gandharva weapon.
गन्धर्वनगरैश्चापि नानाप्राकारतोरणैः २१.
And with cities of the Gandharvas, adorned with various kinds of ramparts and gateways.
तयास्त्रवृष्ट्या दैत्यानां हन्यमाना महाचमूः २१.
By that shower of weapons, the great army of the Daityas was being destroyed.
ततो जंभो महावीर्यो विनद्य प्रहसन्मुहुः २१.
Then Jambha, of great might, roared and laughed repeatedly.
ततोऽस्त्रं मौशलंनाम मुमोच सुमहाभयम् २१.
Then he released the weapon called Maushala, exceedingly terrifying.
तैश्च भग्नानि सर्वाणि गंधर्वनगराणि च २१.
By those, all the Gandharva cities were shattered.
चूर्णयामास तत्क्षिप्रं शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः २१.
He quickly crushed them by the hundreds and thousands.
