cakrāhataḥ saṃyati dānavaśca papāta bhūmau pramamāra cāpi | daityāśca śeṣā bhṛśaśaukamāpuḥ krodhaṃ ca kecitpipiṣurbhujāṃśca
جنگ میں چکر کی ضرب سے وہ دانَو زمین پر گرا اور مر گیا۔ باقی دَیتی شدید غم میں ڈوب گئے؛ اور بعض نے غصّے میں اپنے ہی بازو دانتوں سے کاٹ ڈالے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The slain dānava lies fallen; around him, daityas recoil—some weeping in shock, others biting their arms in furious frustration.
