सागराविव संरब्धौ चलन्मूलाविवाचलौ । तेजोयुक्ताविवादित्यौ प्रदहन्ताविवानलौ ॥ 7-32-51 ॥
They were like two surging oceans, like two mountains with their roots torn loose, like two suns endowed with blazing energy, like two fires consuming all before them.

बलोद्धतौ यथा नागौ वाशितार्थे यथा वृषौ । मेघाविव विनर्दन्तौ सिंहाविव बलोत्कटौ ॥ 7-32-52 ॥
Like two elephants frenzied with strength, like two bulls contending over a cow in heat, roaring like thunderclouds, ferocious in might like two lions, the two of them fought.
english translation
रुद्रकालाविव क्रुद्धौ तदा तौ राक्षसार्जुनौ । परस्परं गदाभ्यां तौ ताडयामासतुर्भृशम् ॥ 7-32-53 ॥
Furious then like Rudra and Death, those two—the rakshasa and Arjuna—struck each other violently, again and again, with their maces.

वज्रप्रहारानचला यथा घोरान्विषेहिरे । गदाप्रहारांस्तौ तत्र सेहाते नरराक्षसौ ॥ 7-32-54 ॥
As mountains endure the fearsome blows of the thunderbolt, so did those two, the man and the rakshasa, withstand there the blows of each other's maces.
english translation
यथा ऽ शनिरवेभ्यस्तु जायते ऽथ प्रतिश्रुतिः । तथा तयोर्गदापोथैर्दिशः सर्वाः प्रतिश्रुताः ॥ 7-32-55 ॥
Just as an echo is born from the crash of thunderbolts, so from the smashing of their maces all the quarters of the sky were made to resound.
