Sanskrit Original
ततो रोषात् सर्वतो घोररूपं सपत्नं ते जनयामास भूयः। मदं नामासुरं विश्वरूपं यं त्वं दृष्ट्वा चक्षुषी संन्यमीलः॥ भीतः हनुरेका जगतीस्था तथैका दिवं गता महतो दानवस्य। सहस्रं दन्तानां शतयोजनानां सुतीक्ष्णानां घोररूपं बभूव।॥ वृत्ताः स्थूला रजतस्तम्भव दंष्ट्राश्चतस्रो द्वे शते योजनानाम्। ज्जिघांसया शूलमुद्यम्य घोरम्॥ अपश्यस्त्वं तं तदा घोररूपं सर्वे वै त्वां ददृशुर्दर्शनीयम्। यस्माद् प्राञ्जलिस्त्वं महर्षिमागच्छेथाः शरणं दानवघ्न॥
And in anger, he again created a terrible loO king enemy of yours, the Asura named Mada assuming all shapes, on seeing whom you did shut your eyes with fear, whose one huge jaw was placed on earth, and the other extended to the celestial regions, and who looked terrible with his thousand sharp teeth extending over a hundred Yojanas, and had four prominent ones thick a set, and shining like a pillar of silver, and extending over two hundred Yojanas. And when grinding his teeth he followed you with his terrible and uplifted pike with the object of slaying you, you on seeing that terrible monster, presented a (pitiful) sight to all the bystanders. Then, O destroyer of Danavas, overcome with fear of the monster, with your hands clasped in prayer, you did seek the protection of the great sage.
