3.13.33

jaghāna rundhānam asahya-vikramaṃ sa līlayebhaṃ mṛgarāḍ ivāmbhasi /
tad-rakta-paṅkāṅkita-gaṇḍa-tuṇḍo yathā gajendro jagatīṃ vibhindan //

31 & 32. The Lord shone most brilliantly when He rose (to the surface) from the bottom of the sea lifting up the submerged earth with His tusks; and there under the water, in raging anger intensified by His Sudarsana, He saw the Daitya of irresistible prowess, running up to Him with a gada to check His passage, and slew him without any effort, just as the lion slays an elephant; and now with His cheeks red with the Daitya's blood, He shone like a great elephant who has turned the (red) earth (with his tusks.)
