Hymn of Victory: Varāha, the Slaying of Hiraṇyākṣa, and the Praise of Viṣṇu
भग्नदंष्ट्रस्ततः कुंभो निपपात महीतले । स्यंदनस्थो महावीर्यो जंभो हरिहयं तदा
bhagnadaṃṣṭrastataḥ kuṃbho nipapāta mahītale | syaṃdanastho mahāvīryo jaṃbho harihayaṃ tadā
Kemudian Kumbha, yang taringnya patah, rebah jatuh ke bumi. Pada saat itu juga, wira perkasa Jambha, berdiri di atas keretanya, memukul kuda Hari.

FAQs
They are named warriors in a battle narrative; the verse depicts Kumbha being incapacitated (his tusk broken) and Jambha attacking Hari’s horse from his chariot.
“Harihaya” literally means “Hari’s horse,” i.e., the horse associated with Hari (a common epithet of Viṣṇu). In context, it indicates that Jambha struck the mount/horse connected with Hari.
Two rapid battle events are stated: Kumbha falls to the earth after his tusk is broken, and Jambha—positioned on a chariot—strikes Hari’s horse.
