उत्तरकाण्डम्/सर्गः_७7.7.p21539

Sanskrit · 7.7.p21539

भिन्नातपत्रं पतमानमस्त्रं शरैरपध्वस्तविनीतवेषम् । विनिस्सृतान्त्रं भयलोलनेत्रं बलं तदुन्मत्ततरं बभूव ।। ७.७.५१ ।।

English · Meaning

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.

7.7.p215391 / 6
उत्तरकाण्डम्/सर्गः_७7.7.p21540

Sanskrit · 7.7.p21540

सिंहार्दितानामिव कुञ्जराणां निशाचराणां सह कुञ्जराणाम् । रवाश्च वेगाश्च समं बभूवुः पुराणसिंहेन विमर्दितानाम् ।। ७.७.५२ ।।

English · Meaning

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.

English · Meaning

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.

English · Meaning

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.

7.7.p215424 / 6
उत्तरकाण्डम्/सर्गः_७7.7.p21543

Sanskrit · 7.7.p21543

विलम्बमानैर्मणिहारकुण्डलैर्निशाचरैर्नीलबलाहकोपमैः । निपात्यमानैर्ददृशे निरन्तरं निपात्यमानैरिव नीलपर्वतैः ।। ७.७.५५ ।।

English · Meaning

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.
