Sanskrit Original
ईषन्मूर्छितमात्मानमस्तम्भयत वीर्यवान्॥ ततो दीप्ताग्निसंकाशां शतघण्टामलंकृताम्। चिक्षेप तस्मै समरे गदां काञ्चन भूषिताम्॥ सा हयांश्च रथं चास्य सारथिं च महास्वना। चूर्णयामास वेगेन विसृष्टा भीमकर्मणा॥ स भग्नहयचक्राक्षाद् विशीर्णध्वजकूबरात्। उत्पपात रथात् तूर्णं मायामास्थाय राक्षसीम्॥ स समास्थाय मायां तु ववर्ष रुधिरं बहु।
Squatted down, overwhelmed with a partial swoon. Thereafter he hurled at Alayudha a mace, looking like a blazing flame of fire, decked with a hundred bells and adorned with gold. Hurled forcibly by that one of fierce achievements, that mace crushed into pieces the horses, the driver and the loudly rattling chariots of Alayudha. Then betaking to his illusive prowess the latter then jumped down from his car of which the horses, the wheels Akshas and standard and Kurara had all been shattered. Then through his illusive powers he showered a copious downpour of blood on the field.
