[…] / "Today, having slain you, the evil-minded one who causes terror to all worlds, / I shall bring about the welfare of the three worlds—such is my resolve. // 30 // / And you, ever intent upon doing what is displeasing to the gods, ought to be slain. / Today, when you are killed, it will indeed be pleasing to them as well. // 31 // / While taking lives in the past, you never encountered / any great living being; therefore you are always fearless. // 32 // / Terrified by fear of you and therefore powerless to slay you, / the gods desire nectar and the like, and ever offer worship. // 33 // / Today, when you, the cruel one, are slain, they too will be free of adversity from the immortals' [foe]; / they will not take such delight in nectar—there is no doubt. // 34 // / Today your pride, arrogance, and the very greatness of your yoga, / I will utterly destroy along with your life-breaths at the end of your body!" // 35 // / Sanatkumāra said: / Thus rebuked by the lord of the asuras, the son of the Sun / struck the tiger among asuras upon the head with his staff. // 36 // / And Kāla struck him right upon the heart with his hand; / and Mṛtyu swiftly struck him directly upon the head with a thunderbolt. // 37 // / And Niyati threw a terrible noose around his neck; / Kṛtānta struck him upon the region of the cheek with an iron club. // 38
