Kārttavīrya-vadha (Death of Karttavīrya) / Bhārgava Rāma’s Battle with the King’s Sons
यः शस्त्रपादादुदतिष्ठत ध्वनिर् हुंकारगर्भो दिवमस्पृशन्स वै / तौर्यत्रिकस्येव शरक्षतानि भान्तीव यद्वन्नखदन्तपाताः
yaḥ śastrapādādudatiṣṭhata dhvanir huṃkāragarbho divamaspṛśansa vai / tauryatrikasyeva śarakṣatāni bhāntīva yadvannakhadantapātāḥ
From the stamping clash of weapons arose a roar filled with war-cries, as though it touched the very heavens; and the strikes of claws and fangs gleamed, like arrow-wounds shining amid the music of the triple instruments.
