वह्निं निवारयामास पार्जन्येन शरेण ह ॥ रथं धनुश्च चिच्छेद शंखचूडस्य लीलया ॥३१॥

He prevented a conflagration by the missile of cloud. He split the chariot and the bow of Śaṅkhacūḍa playfully.

सन्नाहं सर्ववाहांश्च किरीटं मुकुटोज्ज्वलम् ॥ वीरशब्दं चकारासौ जगर्ज च पुनः पुनः ॥३२॥

He split his armour, coronet and the vehicles. He roared like a hero and shouted again and again.

चिक्षेप शक्तिं सूर्याभां दानवेन्द्रस्य वक्षसि ॥। तत्प्रहारेण संप्राप मूर्च्छां दीर्घतमेन च ॥३३॥

He hurled his spear refulgent like the sun at the chest of the lord of Dānavas. At the blow he fell unconscious.

मुहूर्तमात्रं तत्क्लेशं विनीय स महाबलः ॥ चेतनां प्राप्य चोत्तस्थौ जगर्ज हरिवर्च सः ॥३४॥

That powerful Asura got rid of the affliction in a Muhūrta and regained consciousness. With a leonine vigour he got up and roared.
