कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
इत्युक्ता भार्गवेणाथ दैत्या युद्ध प्रचक्रमु: । स तान् निहत्य समरे दैत्यान् भार्गवनन्दन:,भगुवंशी परशुरामके ऐसा कहनेपर दैत्य उनके साथ युद्ध करने लगे। भार्गवनन्दन रामने समरांगणमें वज्ञ और विद्युतके समान स्पर्शवाले प्रहारोंद्वारा उन दैत्योंका वध कर डाला। साथ ही उन द्विजश्रेष्ठ जमदग्निकुमारके शरीरको भी दानवोंने क्षत-विक्षत कर डाला
ity uktā bhārgaveṇātha daityā yuddha-pracakramuḥ | sa tān nihatya samare daityān bhārgava-nandanaḥ ||
Thus addressed by Bhārgava, the Daityas began the battle. Then Rama, Bhārgava’s son (Paraśurāma), slew those Daityas in the fight. Yet even as he struck them down, the Dānavas tore and mangled the body of that foremost of the twice-born, Jamadagni’s son, leaving him wounded—showing that in war even the righteous warrior’s body may suffer, while his resolve to confront adharma remains unshaken.
