[52] tataś ca gaṇḍūpadaṃ manyamānaḥ sa ca maṇḍūka iva kuṇḍali-pogaṇḍaṃ taṃ nijagāra, na tu kiñcit kuñcayitum api śaśāka | kintu hanta, hanta, sphūrtiṃ prati santama-sadharmaṇā tena karmaṇā śrī-rāma-dāmādīn prāṇair vikalitāṃ kalayāmāsa |
sva-bhrātṛ-vīryaṃ januṣā vidann api
pralamba-kārir baka-ceṣṭite' rditaḥ |
bhaiṣmīkṛte tasya gatau yathaiva sa
premā hi sarvaṅgila-bhāvam ṛcchati || [upajāti 12]
And then, deeming him an earthworm, he swallowed that young serpent like a frog, but was unable to constrict him in the least. But alas, alas! By that deed, which shared the nature of thick darkness toward consciousness, he caused Śrī Rāma, Śrīdāman, and the others to be bereft of life.
Though knowing from birth the prowess of his brother,
the foe of Pralamba was tormented by Baka's deed.
Just as when he went to make Bhaiṣmī his own,
love indeed assumes a state that swallows all.
