1.19.1
अथावरणमुख्यानि नानाप्रहरणानि च ।
प्रगृह्याभ्यद्रवन्देवान्सहिता दैत्यदानवाः ॥ १.१९.१ ॥
Then the Daityas and Dānavas, together, taking up their chief armour and various weapons, rushed upon the gods.
1.19.2
ततस्तदमृतं देवो विष्णुरादाय वीर्यवान् ।
जहार दानवेन्द्रेभ्यो नरेण सहितः प्रभुः ॥ १.१९.२ ॥
Then the mighty god Viṣṇu, together with Nara, took that nectar away from the lords of the Dānavas.
1.19.3
ततो देवगणाः सर्वे पपुस्तदमृतं तदा ।
विष्णोः सकाशात्संप्राप्य संभ्रमे तुमुले सति ॥ १.१९.३ ॥
Then all the hosts of gods, having received that nectar from Viṣṇu, drank it in the midst of a terrible tumult.
1.19.4
पाययत्यमृतं देवान्हरौ बाहुबलान्नरः ।
निरोधयति चापेन दूरीकृत्य धनुर्धरान्।
ये येऽमृतं पिबन्ति स्म ते ते युद्ध्यन्ति दानवैः ॥ १.१९.४ ॥
Nara, by the strength of Hari's arms, makes the gods drink the nectar, and with his bow he drives back and holds off the archers. Whoever was drinking the nectar then fought with the Dānavas.
1.19.5
ततः पिबत्सु तत्कालं देवेष्वमृतमीप्सितम् ।
राहुर्विबुधरूपेण दानवः प्रापिबत्तदा ॥ १.१९.५ ॥
Then, while the gods were drinking that desired nectar, the Dānava Rāhu, in the form of a god, drank it too.
1.19.6
तस्य कण्ठमनुप्राप्ते दानवस्यामृते तदा ।
आख्यातं चन्द्रसूर्याभ्यां सुराणां हितकाम्यया ॥ १.१९.६ ॥
When the nectar had reached the throat of that Dānava, the moon and the sun, desiring the welfare of the gods, revealed it.
1.19.7
ततो भगवता तस्य शिरश्छिन्नमलंकृतम् ।
चक्रायुधेन चक्रेण पिबतोऽमृतमोजसा ॥ १.१९.७ ॥
Then the blessed Lord, bearing the discus as his weapon, struck off the adorned head of him who was drinking the nectar by force.
1.19.8
तच्छैलशृह्गप्रङ्गिमं दानवस्य शिरो महत् ।
चक्रेणोत्कृत्तमपतच्चालयद्वसुधातलम् ॥ १.१९.८ ॥
That great head of the dānava, like a mountain peak, struck off by the discus, fell and shook the surface of the earth.
1.19.9
चक्रच्छिन्नं खमुत्पत्य ननादातिभयंकरम् ।
तत्कबन्धं पपातास्य विस्फुरद्धरणीतले ॥ १.१९.९ ॥
That head, cut by the discus, leapt up into the sky and roared most terribly; his headless trunk fell writhing upon the surface of the earth.
1.19.10
त्रयोदश सहस्राणि चतुरश्रं समन्ततः ।
सपर्वतवनद्वीपां दैत्यस्याकम्पयन्महीम् ॥ १.१९.१० ॥
It made the earth of the daitya tremble — thirteen thousand (yojanas) square, all around, with its mountains, forests and islands.
1.19.11
ततो वैरविनिर्बन्धः कृतो राहुमुखेन वै ।
शाश्वतश्चन्द्रसूर्याभ्यां ग्रसत्यद्यापि चैव तौ ॥ १.१९.११ ॥
Then, through Rāhu's mouth, a perpetual binding of enmity was made with the moon and the sun; even today he seizes those two.
1.19.12
विहाय भगवांश्चापि स्त्रीरूपमतुलं हरिः ।
नानाप्रहरणैर्भीमैर्दानवान्तमकम्पयत् ॥ १.१९.१२ ॥
Having abandoned his incomparable woman's form, the blessed Hari made the host of dānavas tremble with various terrible weapons.
1.19.13
ततः प्रवृत्तः संग्रामः समीपे लवणाम्भसः ।
सुराणामसुराणां च सर्वघोरतरो महान् ॥ १.१९.१३ ॥
Then a great battle began near the salt ocean between the gods and the asuras, the most terrible of all.
1.19.14
प्रासाश्च विपुलास्तीक्ष्णा न्यपतन्त सहस्रशः ।
तोमराश्च सुतीक्ष्णाग्राः शस्त्राणि विविधानि च ॥ १.१९.१४ ॥
Large sharp spears fell by thousands, and javelins with very keen points, and weapons of many kinds.
1.19.15
ततोऽसुराश्चक्रभिन्ना वमन्तो रुधिरं बहु ।
असिशक्तिगदारुग्णा निपेतुर्धरणीतले ॥ १.१९.१५ ॥
Then the asuras, torn apart by discuses, vomiting much blood and crushed by swords, spears and maces, fell upon the ground.
1.19.16
छिन्नानि पट्टिशैश्चैव शिरांसि युधि दारुणैः ।
तप्तकाञ्चनमालीनि निपेतुरनिशं तदा ॥ १.१९.१६ ॥
Heads cut off in battle by dreadful iron clubs, wearing garlands of heated gold, fell incessantly at that time.
1.19.17
रुधिरेणानुलिप्ताङ्गा निहताश्च महासुराः ।
अद्रीणामिव कूटानि धातुरक्तानि शेरते ॥ १.१९.१७ ॥
The great asuras, slain, their limbs smeared with blood, lie like mountain peaks reddened with mineral ores.
1.19.18
आहाकारः समभवत्तत्र तत्र सहस्रशः ।
अन्योन्यंछिन्दतां शस्त्रैरादित्ये लोहितायति ॥ १.१९.१८ ॥
Everywhere cries of 'ah!' arose by thousands, as they cut one another down with weapons while the sun turned red.
1.19.19
परिघैरायसैस्तीक्ष्णैः सन्निकर्षे च मुष्टिभिः ।
निघ्नतां समरेऽन्योन्यं शब्दो दिवमिवास्पृशत् ॥ १.१९.१९ ॥
With sharp iron clubs, and with fists when they closed in, as they struck one another in battle, the sound seemed to touch the sky.
1.19.20
छिन्धिभिन्धि प्रधाव त्वं पातयाभिसरेति च ।
व्यश्रूयन्त महाघोराः शब्दास्तत्र समन्ततः ॥ १.१९.२० ॥
'Cut! Pierce! Rush forward! Strike down! Advance!' — such very terrible cries were heard there on every side.
1.19.21
एवं सुतुमुले युद्धे वर्तमाने महाभये ।
नरनारायणौ देवौ समाजग्मतुराहवम् ॥ १.१९.२१ ॥
As such a very tumultuous and great terrible battle was going on, the two gods Nara and Nārāyaṇa came to the battlefield.
1.19.22
तत्र दिव्यं धनुर्दृष्ट्वा नरस्य भगवानपि ।
चिन्तयामास तच्चक्रं विष्णुर्दानवसूदनम् ॥ १.१९.२२ ॥
There, seeing Nara's divine bow, the blessed Viṣṇu too thought of that discus, the slayer of the Dānavas.
1.19.23
ततोऽम्बराच्चिन्तितमात्रमागतं ।
महाप्रभं चक्रममित्रतापनम्।
विभावसोस्तुल्यमकुण्ठमण्डलं ।
सुदर्शनं संयति भीमदर्शनम् ॥ १.१९.२३ ॥
Then, merely as it was thought of, there came down from the sky the great-radiant discus, tormentor of enemies, equal to fire, with an undulled rim, Sudarśana, terrible to behold in battle.
1.19.24
तदागतं ज्वलितहुताशनप्रभं ।
भयंकरं करिकरबाहुरच्युतः।
मुमोच वै प्रबलवदुग्रवेगवा-
न्महाप्रभं परनगरावदारणम् ॥ १.१९.२४ ॥
That terrible discus, which had come blazing like a kindled fire, Acyuta, with arms like an elephant's trunk, released with mighty force and fierce speed — the great-radiant discus that splits the cities of the enemy.
1.19.25
तदन्तकज्वलनसमानवर्चसं ।
पुनःपुनर्न्यपतत वेगवत्तदा।
विदारयद्दितिदनुजान्सहस्रशः ।
करेरितं पुरुषवरेण संयुगे ॥ १.१९.२५ ॥
Then he, blazing like the fire of Death, fell swiftly again and again; hurled by the best of men in battle, he tore apart thousands of the demons, the sons of Diti and Danu.
1.19.26
दहत्क्वचिज्ज्वलन इवावलेलिह-
त्प्रसह्य तानसुरगणान्न्यकृन्तत।
प्रवेरितं वियति मुहुः क्षितौ तथा ।
पपौ रणे रुधिरमथो पिशाचवत् ॥ १.१९.२६ ॥
Burning here and there, licking as if with flames, he forcibly cut down those hosts of asuras; hurled again and again into the sky and onto the earth, he drank blood in battle like a ghoul.
1.19.27
तथाऽसुरा गिरिभिरदीनचेतसो ।
मुहुर्मुहुः सुरगणमार्दयंस्तदा।
महाबला विगलितमेघवर्चसः ।
सहस्रशो गगनमभिप्रपद्यह ॥ १.१९.२७ ॥
So too the asuras, undaunted in mind, again and again assailed the host of devas with mountains; those mighty ones, with the splendor of scattered clouds, rushed by the thousands into the sky.
1.19.28
अथाम्बराद्भयजननाः प्रपेदिरे ।
सपादपा बहुविधमेघरूपिणः।
महाद्रयः परिगलिताग्रसानवः ।
परस्परं द्रुतमभिहत्य सस्वनाः ॥ १.१९.२८ ॥
Then from the sky there fell, terror-causing, with trees, great mountains like clouds of many forms, their peaks and slopes crumbled; striking one another, they fell swiftly with thunderous sound.
1.19.29
ततो मही प्रविचलिता सकानना ।
महाद्रिपाताभिहता समन्ततः।
परस्परं भृशमभिगर्जतां मुहू ।
रणाजिरे भृशमभिसंप्रवर्तिते ॥ १.१९.२९ ॥
Then the earth, with its forests, trembled violently, struck on all sides by the fall of great mountains, as they roared repeatedly against one another and the terrible battle raged on the battlefield.
1.19.30
नरस्ततो वरकनकाग्रभूषणै-
र्महेषुभिर्गगनपथं समावृणोत्।
विदारयन्गिरिशिखराणि पत्रिभि-
र्महाभयेऽसुरगणविग्रहे तदा ॥ १.१९.३० ॥
Then Nara covered the path of the sky with great arrows adorned with the finest gold tips, and in that terrible battle with the host of demons he split the mountain peaks with feathered arrows.
1.19.31
ततो महीं लवणजलं च सागरं ।
महासुराः प्रविविशुरर्दिताः सुरैः।
वियद्गतं ज्वलितहुताशनप्रभं ।
सुदर्शनं परिकुपितं निशाम्य ते ॥ १.१९.३१ ॥
Then the great asuras, tormented by the gods, entered the earth and the salt-water ocean, when they saw the enraged Sudarśana gone into the sky, shining like a blazing fire.
1.19.32
ततः सुरैर्विजयमवाप्य मन्दरः ।
स्वमेव देशं गमितः सुपूजितः।
विनाद्य खं दिवमपि चैव सर्वश-
स्ततो गताः सलिलधरा यथागतम् ॥ १.१९.३२ ॥
Then Mandara, having won victory through the gods and greatly honored, went back to its own place; and the cloud-bearers, having made sky and heaven resound with thunder on every side, departed as they had come.
1.19.33
ततोऽमृतं सुनिहितमेव चक्रिरे ।
सुराः पुरां मुदमभिगम्य पुष्कलाम्।
ददो च तं निधिममृतस्य रक्षितुं ।
किरीटिने बलभिदथामरैः सह ॥ १.१९.३३ ॥
Then the gods carefully stored the nectar; and going joyfully to their cities, Indra, the destroyer of strength, together with the immortals, entrusted that treasure of nectar to the crowned Arjuna for its protection.
