<< VERSE 3 >>


WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

They each struck fists against fists, knees against knees, head against head and chest against chest.

PURPORT

The word aratni in this verse may indicate the elbow as well as the fist. Thus blows were perhaps also struck with the elbow, a technique seen today in various martial arts.
