ददृशे च ततः शैलः शतशृंगोऽतिविस्तरः
After that, a mountain was seen, vast and with a hundred peaks.
नानानिर्झर संघोषं ववृषे शोणितं वहु
It poured forth much blood, resounding with the noise of many waterfalls.
पर्वतो द्विगुणो भूत्वा पर्वतं सहसाप्लुतः
The mountain, having doubled in size, suddenly leapt upon another mountain.
तदा विशीर्णः सोऽभूच्च पर्वतो भूमिमंडले
Then that mountain was shattered and fell upon the surface of the earth.
वक्त्रैर्मुंचन्महाज्वालां रेपलेन्द्रोऽभ्यधावत
Repalendra rushed forward, emitting great flames from his mouths.
विधाय तादृशं रूपं नर्दन्तं चाप्यधावत 1.2.63.
Assuming such a form, roaring, he too charged ahead.
युयुधाते बाणजालैर्यथा प्रावृषि तोयदौ
They fought with showers of arrows, like rainclouds in the rainy season.
पर्वताविव सत्पक्षौ चिरं युयुधतुः स्थिरम्
Like two mountains with strong wings, they fought steadily for a long time.
भूमौ प्रधर्षयामास प्रसृतं च मुमोच ह
He struck down his opponent to the ground and released his force.
तद्दूरे रेपलेन्द्राख्यं ग्राममद्यापि वर्तते
At a distance, the village called Repalendra still exists today.
नाथः श्मशानस्यावन्त्या विघ्नकृन्निहतोऽभवत्
The lord of the Avanti cremation ground, the obstacle-maker, was slain.
ततस्तृतीययामे च प्रतीच्या दिश आययौ
Then, in the third watch of the night, he came from the western direction.
दुहद्रुहाख्याश्वतरी मेघभ्रष्टा तडिद्यथा
A mule named Duhadruha, like lightning fallen from a cloud, appeared.
उपसृत्य जवाद्भैमी रुरोह प्रहसन्निव
Approaching swiftly, the earth-born one mounted it, as if smiling.
स्थापयामास तत्रैव तस्थौ सा चातिपीडिता
He placed her right there, and she remained, greatly afflicted.
जगत्यामाशु चिक्षेप बर्बरीकं तथेच्छकम् 1.2.63.
He quickly hurled Barbarika, as he wished, onto the earth.
पादौ च वीरः संगृह्य चिक्षेप भुवि लीलया
The hero seized their feet and cast them upon the ground with ease.
मुष्टिना पातयित्वैव दंतान्कंठमपीडयत्
Striking with his fist, he knocked out their teeth and crushed their throats.
एवं सीकोत्तरस्थाने स्मशानैकपदो द्भवा
Thus, at the place beyond the boundary, in the cremation ground, standing alone, he appeared.
हत्वा तां चापि चिक्षेप प्रतीच्यामेव लीलया
Having slain them, he threw them toward the west, again with effortless grace.
ततस्तथैव संतस्थौ बर्बरीकोऽभिरक्षणे
Then, in the same manner, Barbarika stood firm, guarding vigilantly.
मुंडी नग्नो मयूराणां पिच्छधारी महाव्रतः
Shaven-headed, naked, adorned with peacock feathers, observing great vows.
अहिंसा परमो धर्मस्तदग्निर्ज्वाल्यते कुतः
Nonviolence is the supreme dharma; why then is this fire kindled?
श्रुत्वेदं वचनं तस्य बर्बरीकोऽब्रवीत्स्मयन्
Hearing these words, Barbarika replied with a smile.
अनृतं भाषसे पाप शिक्षायोग्योऽसि दुर्मते
You speak falsehood, sinner; you are fit for discipline, O wicked-minded one.
दन्तान्मुष्टिप्रहारैश्च समाहत्याभ्यपातयत् 1.2.63.
He struck their teeth with blows of his fist and knocked them down.
स क्षणाच्चेतनां प्राप्य घोरदैत्यवपुर्धरः
In a moment, regaining consciousness, he took on the form of a fierce demon.
बहुप्रभेति नगरी षष्टियोजनमायता
A city called Bahuprabha, spanning sixty yojanas in length.
बर्बरीकं ततो दृष्ट्वा नादोऽभूच्च पलाशिनाम्
Seeing Barbarika, a cry arose among the Palash trees.
तच्छ्रुत्वा दैत्यवीराणां कोटयो नव भीषणाः
Hearing this, ninety million terrifying demon warriors gathered.
