The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
राक्षसानां हतास्तत्र षष्टिकोट्यो रणाजिरे ॥ अमराश्चाक्षयाश्चैव न हि त्वां प्रापयन्ति वै ॥
rākṣasānāṃ hatās tatra ṣaṣṭikoṭyo raṇājire || amarāś cākṣayāś caiva na hi tvāṃ prāpayanti vai ||
అక్కడ రణభూమిలో అరవై కోట్లు రాక్షసులు హతమయ్యారు; అమరులూ అక్షయులూ కూడ నిజంగా నిన్ను చేరలేరు (నిన్ను జయించలేరు).
Varāha (default speaker framework; explicit speaker not stated in excerpt)
It preserves a Purāṇic style of hyperbolic numeration and typological opponents (Rākṣasas), useful for studying narrative scale and rhetorical emphasis in Sanskrit literature.
No named location appears; “raṇājira” is a generic term for battlefield.
The verse emphasizes limits of force and the futility of opposition against an inevitable principle; it encourages recognition of boundaries to power.
