गिरीन्द्रो मन्दरः श्रीमान्नीलो मेरुस्सुशोभनः ॥ धर्षितो बाहुदण्डेन कण्डा उत्सर्पणाय मे ॥३६॥

To remove the itching sensation in my arms I have hit the lofty mountain Mandara, the glorious mountain Nīla and the lustrous mountain Meru.

गंगा निरुद्धा बाहुभ्यां लीलार्थं हिमवद्गिरौ ॥ अरोणां मम भृत्यैश्च जयो लब्धो दिवौकसात् ॥ ३७ ॥

Just for the sport the river Gaṅgā was checked by me on the Himalaya mountain. Even my servants were victorious over the gods, my enemies.

I seized the submarine fire and closed its mouth when the entire ocean became one single unit instantaneously.

ऐरावतादयो नागाः क्षिप्ताः सिन्धुजलोपरि ॥ सरथो भगवानिन्द्रः क्षिप्तश्च शतयोजनम् ॥ ३९ ॥

Airāvata and other elephants have been hurled into the ocean. Lord Indra along with his chariot has been thrown by me a hundred Yojanas away.

Even Guruḍa (Garuḍa?) has been bound by me along with Viṣṇu by means of the serpent noose. Urvaśī and other women have been imprisoned by me.
