yāni yodhaiḥ prayuktāni
śastrāstrāṇi kurūdvaha
haris tāny acchinat tīkṣṇaiḥ
śarair ekaikaśas trībhiḥ
uhyamānaḥ suparṇena
pakṣābhyāṁ nighnatā gajān
gurutmatā hanyamānās
tuṇḍa-pakṣa-nakher gajāḥ
puram evāviśann ārtā
narako yudhy ayudhyata

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Lord Hari then struck down all the missiles and weapons the enemy soldiers threw at Him, O hero of the Kurus, destroying each and every one with three sharp arrows. Meanwhile Garuḍa, as he carried the Lord, struck the enemy’s elephants with his wings. Beaten by Garuḍa’s wings, beak and talons, the elephants fled back into the city, leaving Narakāsura alone on the battlefield to oppose Kṛṣṇa.
