तद्धैर्यमवलंब्येह युध्यध्वमरिभिः सह 4.1.16.
Therefore, relying on courage here, fight together with the enemies.
अद्यैतान्विवशान्हत्वा सह देवैः सवासवैः
Today, having slain these helpless ones, along with the gods and their Indras—
स चापि योगी योगेन यदि नाम स्वयं प्रभुः
And even if that yogi, the Lord himself, by yoga—
इत्यंधकवचः श्रुत्वा दानवा मेघनिःस्वनाः
Thus, hearing Andhaka's speech, the Dānavas roared like thunderclouds.
सत्यायुपि न नो जातु शक्ताः स्युः प्रमथाबलात्
Yet, truly, we could never be able to withstand the might of the Pramathas.
ये स्वामिनं विहायाजौ बहुमानधना जनाः
Those people who, abandoning their master in battle, are rich in honor—
अयशस्तमसा ख्यातिं मलिनीकृत्यभूरिशः
Their fame is stained again and again by the darkness of disgrace.
किं दानैः किं तपोभिश्च किं तीर्थपरिमज्जनैः
What use are gifts, what use are austerities, what use is bathing at holy places?
संप्रधार्येति तेऽन्योन्यं दैत्यास्ते दनुजास्तथा
Thus, those Daityas and Danavas deliberated with one another.
तत्र वाणासिवज्रौघैः कटंकटशिलामयैः
There, with showers of arrows, swords, thunderbolts, and stones,
खट्वांगैः पट्टिशैः शूलैर्लकुटैर्मुसलैरलम् 4.1.16.
With clubs, spears, tridents, maces, and pestles in abundance,
कार्मुकाणां विकृष्टानां पततां च पतत्रिणाम्
From the drawn bows and the flying arrows,
रणतूर्यनिनादैश्च गजानां बहुबृंहितैः
And with the blaring of battle-trumpets and the loud trumpeting of elephants,
प्रतिस्वनैरवापूरि द्यावाभूम्योर्यदंतरम्
The space between heaven and earth was filled with reverberating echoes.
गजवाजिमहाराव स्फुटच्छब्दग्रहाणि च
The mighty roars of elephants and horses, and the sharp sounds of their cries,
रुधिरोद्गार चित्राणि व्यश्वहस्तिरथानि च
Strange displays of bloodshed, and the horses, elephants, and chariots,
दृष्ट्वा सैन्यं च प्रमथैर्भज्यमानमितस्ततः
Seeing the army being shattered here and there by the Pramathas,
शरवज्रप्रहारैस्तैर्वज्राघातैर्नगा इव
By the blows of arrows and thunderbolts, like trees struck by thunder,
यांतमायांतमालोक्य दूरस्थं निकटस्थितम्
Observing those approaching, departing, distant and near,
विनायकेन स्कंदेन नंदिना सोमनंदिना
By Vinayaka, Skanda, Nandi, and Somanandi,
इत्याद्यैस्तु गणैरुग्रैरंधकोप्यंधकीकृतः 4.1.16.
And by those fierce Ganas and others, Andhaka was rendered blind.
ततः कोलाहलो जातः प्रमथासुरसैन्ययोः
Then a tumult arose between the armies of the Pramathas and the Asuras.
छिद्रान्वेषी भ्रमन्सोथ विनिःकेतो यथानिलः
Seeking out openings, wandering and darting about like the wind,
ब्रह्मनारायणेंद्राणामादित्याप्यरसां तथा
Of Brahma, Narayana, Indra, the Adityas, and the Vasus likewise,
सवर्षाणां शतं कुक्षौ भवस्य परितो भ्रमन्
For a hundred years, circling around in the belly of Bhava,
शांभवेनाथयोगेन शुक्ररूपेण भार्गवः
Then, by the yoga of Shambhu, Bhargava entered in the form of Shukra.
शुक्रवन्निःसृतोयस्मात्तस्मात्त्वं भृगुनंदन
Because semen issued forth from you like that of Śukra, therefore, O descendant of Bhṛgu,
जठरान्निर्गते शुक्रे देवोपि मुमुदेतराम्
When the semen emerged from the belly, even the god rejoiced greatly.
इत्येवमुक्तो देवेन शुक्रोर्कसदृश द्युतिः
Thus addressed by the god, he shone with a radiance like that of Śukra and the sun.
शुक्रोदयान्मुदं लेभे स दानव महार्णवः
Because of the arising of Śukra, that great ocean-like Dānava experienced joy.
