Sanskrit Original
यत्र मांसादमृषभमाससाद बृहद्रथः। तं हत्वा मासतालाभिस्तिस्रो भेरीरकारयत्॥ स्वपुरे स्थापयामास तेन चानह्य चर्मणा। यत्र ताः प्राणदन् भेर्यो दिव्यपुष्पावचूर्णिताः॥ भङ्क्त्वा भेरीत्रयं तेऽपि चैत्यप्राकारमाद्रवन्। द्वारतोऽभिमुखाः सर्वे ययुर्नानाऽऽयुधास्तदा।॥ मागधानां सुरुचिरं चैत्यकं तं समाद्रवन्। शिरसीव समाघ्नन्तो जरासंधं जिघांसवः॥
Here (on this Chaityaka hill) Brihadratha had killed a cannibal, called Rishava,. Having killed the monster, he caused three drums to be made of his skin. He then kept these drums in his city. They were such that if once played upon their sound lasted for full one month. The brothers (Krishna & c.) broke down the Chaityaka, ever charming to all the people, at the place where these drums, covered with celestials flowers, sent forth their continuous sound. Desirous Desirous as they as they were to kill Jarasandha, they seemed to place their feet on the head of their foe by their this act.
