6 passagesभिन्नातपत्रं पतमानमस्त्रं शरैरपध्वस्तविनीतवेषम् । विनिस्सृतान्त्रं भयलोलनेत्रं बलं तदुन्मत्ततरं बभूव ।। ७.७.५१ ।।
That army, with parasols shattered, weapons falling, its proud array destroyed by arrows, entrails spilling out, and eyes rolling in fear, became even more frantic.
सिंहार्दितानामिव कुञ्जराणां निशाचराणां सह कुञ्जराणाम् । रवाश्च वेगाश्च समं बभूवुः पुराणसिंहेन विमर्दितानाम् ।। ७.७.५२ ।।
The cries and rushes of the night-roaming demons together with the elephants became alike to those of elephants afflicted by lions, crushed by an ancient lion. The syntax of the comparison is compressed in the transmitted wording; पुराणसिंहेन literally means “by an ancient lion,” and the comparison may be understood as referring to elephants crushed by such a lion.
ते वार्यमाणा हरिबाणजालैः सबाणजालानि समुत्सृजन्तः । धावन्ति नक्तञ्चरकालमेघा वायुप्रभिन्ना इव कालमेघाः ।। ७.७.५३ ।।
They, though being checked by the monkeys’ showers of arrows, while sending forth their own showers of arrows, run on—the night-roving dark clouds—as if dark rain-clouds split apart by the wind.
चक्रपहारैर्विनिकृत्तशीर्षाः सञ्चूर्णिताङ्गाश्च गदाप्रहारैः । अभिप्रहारैर्द्विविधा विभिन्नाः पतन्ति शैला इव राक्षसेन्द्राः ।। ७.७.५४ ।।
Their heads severed by blows of the discus and their limbs crushed by blows of maces, the demon lords, split apart in two ways by the striking blows, fall like mountains.
विलम्बमानैर्मणिहारकुण्डलैर्निशाचरैर्नीलबलाहकोपमैः । निपात्यमानैर्ददृशे निरन्तरं निपात्यमानैरिव नीलपर्वतैः ।। ७.७.५५ ।।
He was seen, all in a continuous mass, as the night-roamers—whose necklaces and earrings were hanging down and who resembled dark rain-clouds—were being struck down, as if dark mountains were being hurled down.
