The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
तूर्यक्श्वेडितसंघुष्टैर्बलितास्फोटितैरपि ॥ जयार्थिनो द्रुतं वीराश्चालयन्तश्च मेदिनीम् ॥
tūryakṣveḍitasaṃghuṣṭair balitāsphoṭitair api || jayārthino drutaṃ vīrāś cālayantaś ca medinīm ||
వాద్యాల ఘోష, యుద్ధనాదాలు, గర్జనలు, చప్పట్లతో కూడి, విజయాన్ని కోరిన వీరులు వేగంగా ముందుకు సాగి భూమినే కంపింపజేశారు.
Narrator (default framework: Varāha–Pṛthivī dialogue context; verse itself is narrative)
It preserves the sonic vocabulary of Sanskrit battle-poetics (tūrya, kṣveḍita) and uses the conventional image of the trembling earth (medinī) to convey scale and intensity.
No named location is given; 'medinī' refers generically to the earth.
No direct ethical instruction is stated; the verse emphasizes the momentum and intensity of conflict.
