labdhārdhacandra īśaḥ, kṛtakaṃsabhayaṃ ca pauruṣaṃ viṣṇoḥ,
brahmā 'pi nā- 'bhijātaḥ, keno 'pamimīmahe nṛpa nābhi?
bhavantam? || 4 ||

Śiva has received a half-moon [also: a blow to the neck], and Viṣṇu's valour was made fearful by Kaṃsa [also: made of feigned fear], / Even Brahmā is born from a navel [also: not of noble birth]—with whom, O king, shall we compare your majesty? || 4
