अर्जुनस्य गदा सा तु पात्यमाना ऽहितोरसि । काञ्चनाभं नभश्चक्रे विद्युत्सौदामिनी यथा ॥ 7-32-56 ॥
And that mace of Arjuna's, as it was hurled down upon the foe's chest, made the sky shine with a golden hue, like a flash of lightning.
english translation
तथैव रावणेनापि पात्यमाना मुहुर्मुहुः । अर्जुनोरसि निर्भाति गदोल्केव महागिरौ ॥ 7-32-57 ॥
In just the same way the mace hurled again and again by Ravana blazed upon Arjuna's chest like a meteor fallen upon a great mountain.
english translation
नार्जुनः खेदमायाति न राक्षसगणेश्वरः । इदमासीत्तयोर्युद्धं यथा पूर्वं बलीन्द्रयोः ॥ 7-32-58 ॥
Neither did Arjuna come to exhaustion, nor did the lord of the rakshasa hosts; this combat of theirs was like that of old between the two mighty lords, Bali and Indra.
english translation
शृङ्गैरिव वृषायुध्यन्दन्ताग्रैरिव कुञ्जरौ । परस्परं तौ निघ्नन्तौ नरराक्षससत्तमौ ॥ 7-32-59 ॥
Fighting like bulls with their horns, like elephants with the points of their tusks, those two best of beings—the man and the rakshasa—struck at each other.
english translation
ततो ऽर्जुनेन क्रुद्धेन सर्वप्राणेन सा गदा । स्तनयोरन्तरे मुक्ता रावणस्य महोरसि ॥ 7-32-60 ॥
Then by the enraged Arjuna, with all his strength, that mace was loosed at the broad chest of Ravana, between his nipples.
