Transliteration
tato bhagavatā tasya śiraś chinnam alaṅkṛtam | cakrāyudhena cakreṇa pibato 'mṛtam ojasā ||
Translation
Then the Blessed Lord, wielder of the discus, with His discus-weapon forcefully severed the demon’s crown-adorned head as he was drinking the nectar with great might. The episode underscores that even when one grasps at immortality through deceit or unrighteous means, divine justice intervenes to uphold cosmic order.
