Chapter 111

Devanagari script

उदबबर्ह रथाच्चापि पन्नगं गरुडो यथा । क्रोधमें भरे हुए हिडिम्बाकुमारने अपने रथसे अलम्बुषके रथपर कूदकर उसे पकड़ लिया और जैसे गरुड़ सर्पको टाँग लेता है, उसी प्रकार उसने भी अलम्बुषको रथसे उठा लिया

Transliteration

udabbarha rathāccāpi pannagaṃ garuḍo yathā |

Translation

Sañjaya said: In the fury of battle, the son of Hiḍimbā sprang from his own chariot onto Alambuṣa’s chariot, seized him, and lifted him up—just as Garuḍa snatches a serpent. The image underscores the ruthless momentum of war, where wrath turns strength into overpowering violence and the battlefield becomes a place of swift, decisive domination rather than deliberative restraint.
