तस्य पुत्रैः खनद्भिस्तु वालुकांतर्गतस्तु सः॥ धुन्धुरासादितो ब्रह्मन्दिशमाश्रित्य पश्चि माम् ॥ ३१ ॥

O brahmin, the demon Dhundhu was found out, concealed beneath the sand towards the western quarter as the sons of the king dug up the place.

english translation

मुखजेनाग्निना क्रोधाल्लोकान्संवर्तयन्निव ॥ वारि सुस्राव वेगेन विधोः कधिरिवोदये॥ ३२ ॥

He appeared to consume all the worlds out of fury in the fire emerging from his mouth. Water too gushed out from him as from the moon-stone at the moonrise.

english translation

ततोऽनलैरभिहतं दग्धं पुत्रशतं हि तत् ॥ त्रय एवावशिष्टाश्च तेषु मध्ये मुनीश्वर ॥ ३३॥

The hundred sons were scorched and burnt in the fire. O great sage, among them only three survived.

english translation

ततस्स राजा विप्रेन्द्र राक्षसं तं महाबलम् ॥ आससाद महातेजा धुन्धुं विप्रविनाशनम् ॥ ३४॥

O leading brahmin, then the king of great splendour rushed at the very powerful Rākṣasa, the brahmin-slayer Dhundhu.

english translation

तस्य वारिमयं वेगमापीय स नराधिपः ॥ वह्निबाणेन वह्निं तु शमयामास वारिणा ॥ ३५॥

The king quaffed off the gushing water through fiery arrows and quelled the fire through water.
