दंष्ट्रिणां नियुतं तेषां भीमसेनादगात्क्षयम् । दंष्ट्रि गोमायु काकादीन्महिषीर्गोवराङ्गनाः
daṃṣṭriṇāṃ niyutaṃ teṣāṃ bhīmasenādagātkṣayam | daṃṣṭri gomāyu kākādīnmahiṣīrgovarāṅganāḥ
ان دانت دار مخلوقات کے بے شمار گروہ بھیم سین کے ہاتھوں ہلاک ہوئے؛ اور اس دَمشٹری نے گومایو (گیدڑ)، کوّے وغیرہ کو بھی مار ڈالا—اور ساتھ ہی بھینسیں، گائیں اور گوالوں کے سماج کی عورتیں بھی۔

FAQs
Bhīmasena is the named warrior credited here with bringing about the destruction (kṣaya) of a great number (niyuta) of tusked creatures.
The verse mentions tusked creatures (daṃṣṭriṇām), as well as jackals (gomāyu), crows (kāka), and others; it also includes mahiṣīḥ (buffalo-cows/female buffaloes) and go-varāṅganāḥ (cowherd women).
It is primarily narrative, describing violent destruction in a mythic setting rather than presenting a direct doctrinal teaching.
