[12] And then he spoke thus:
"O fool, O vile one! Why do you terrify animals and their keepers,
while I am here, the punisher of wicked, evil-minded wretches of your kind?" [BhP 10.36.7]
And further:
"O home-grown coward! Being far away, why do you assume cruelty?
Come flood me, like the ocean's surge flooding the jar-born Agastya!" ||
[13] And it is understood that he said this out of a desire to slay him who deemed himself a bull, and to dispel the people's delusion that he was an ox. Furthermore—
When he clapped his arms, and from that sound
an explosion pierced the ears of the demon,
that bull, wondering "Who made this [sound]?",
did not abandon his immense wrath like a one-year-old calf. ||
Placing his arm upon his friend's shoulder,
Kṛṣṇa stood there laughing aloud,
whereby he increased the demon's wrath
and raised doubts among his own dear companions. ||
That bull, scattering a hundred thousand clouds like dust
with the sweep of his sweeping tail,
and rending the earth with spades blazing like the thunderbolts of his hooves,
rushed toward Hari. ||
He was not merely like a thunderbolt in causing flight;
toward his foes, he was vowed to counter-bellowing.
Not only did Hari step forward here—alas!—
but also his friend, who had embraced his shoulder with his arm. ||
[14] And when, in that state, he was visibly not far away, the glorious Kṛṣṇa seized his two horns, as follows:
The horns which were brought forward by the bull-demon for victory,
created for his own binding,
fell under the control of Kṛṣṇa's two arms. ||
