Devanagari script
स पपात द्विधा छिन्न आयस: परिघो महान् । महीधरस्येव महच्छिखरं वज़दारितम्,लोहेका वह महान् परिघ दो खण्डोंमें विभक्त होकर वज्रसे विदीर्ण किये गये महान् पर्ववशिखरके समान पृथ्वीपर गिर पड़ा
Transliteration
sa papāta dvidhā chinna āyasaḥ parigho mahān | mahīdharasyeva mahācchikharaṃ vajradāritam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: The great iron club, split into two pieces, fell to the earth—like a lofty mountain-peak shattered by a thunderbolt. The image underscores the irresistible force unleashed in battle and the sudden collapse of even the mightiest weapon when struck by superior power.
