Feeling that blow, that Daitya of terrible prowess
then struck his raised arm with a javelin.
Then from his hand pierced by the javelin,
that divine bow adorned with gold and bright as a great thunderbolt fell.
Then the mighty Daitya chief struck his elephant again, while he was confused,
quickly piercing its temple region with the javelin.
Struck by that Daitya like an elephant in rut in the forest,
uncontrolled by the goad, slowly […] his own army, unchecked. […]
[…]
Being struck thus by the Daityas and Dānavas,
those Ādityas, tormented by fear, fled in all directions on every side.
Then conches, kettledrums, and various musical instruments [were sounded],
[…]
and the celebrated Daityas and Dānavas let out lion-roars.
With its ranks cut, broken, and torn apart by the elephant and churned again by the Daityas,
that great army protected by the gods appeared like the ocean wounded by the churning of Mount Mandara.
