हे देव किमनेनापि सहस्रेण करोम्यहम् ॥ बाहूनां गिरितुल्यानां विना युद्धं वृषध्वज ॥६॥

O bull-bannered lord, what can I do with these thousand mountain-like hands without a fight.

english translation

कडूंत्या निभृतैदोंर्भिर्युयुत्सुर्दिग्गजानहम् ॥ पुराण्याचूर्णयन्नद्रीन्भीतास्तेपि प्रदुद्रुवुः॥७॥

When my hands itch for war I desire to fight the elephants of the quarters. By hitting the cities and mountains I reduced them to powder. Being frightened they fled away.

english translation

मया यमः कृतो योद्धा वह्निश्च कृतको महान्॥ वरुणश्चापि गोपालो गवां पालयिता तथा॥८॥

Yama has been made a combatant with me and the great fire-god too, similarly. Varuṇa has been made a cowherd looking after my cows.

english translation

गजाध्यक्षः कुबेरस्तु सैरन्ध्री चापि निर्ऋतिः॥ जितश्चाखंडलो लोके करदायी सदा कृतः ॥९॥

Kubera has been made the in-charge of couches, Nirṛti a chaperon. Indra has been defeated and forced to pay tribute.

english translation

युद्धस्यागमनं ब्रूहि यत्रैते बाहवो मम ॥ शत्रुहस्तप्रयुक्तश्च शस्त्रास्त्रैर्जर्जरीकृताः॥2-5-52-१०॥

Please suggest a fight unto me wherein my hands may fall shattered by the weapons hurled by the enemy or cause him to fall in thousand pieces.
