प्रायेण यदुशार्दूल बान्धवक्षयकृत्तव ॥ २.२५.२ ॥
Kṛṣṇa, it would not be fitting for me to plead with this sinner. Tiger of the Yadus, this generally brings about the ruin of your kinsmen.

2.25.6
गोमन्ते पर्वतश्रेष्ठे येनैष परिमोक्षितः ।
बलदेवबलं प्राप्य कोऽन्यो जीवेत्तु मागधात् ॥ २.२५.६ ॥
On the finest mountain Gomanta, by whom this one was freed — having obtained the strength of Balarāma, who else could survive the Māgadha?

तदस्य मृत्युर्विहितस्त्वदृते न महाबल ।
वायुं चिन्त्य महाबाहो जहीमं मगधाधिपम् ॥ २.२५.७ ॥
Your death alone is ordained for him, O mighty one; no one else can slay him. O mighty-armed one, call to mind the wind-god and slay this lord of Magadha.

भीमसेनस्य नादेन जरासन्धस्य चैव ह ।
किं नु स्याद्धिमवान्भिन्नः किंनुस्विद्दीर्यते मही ॥ २.२५.१३ ॥
Has the Himalaya been split by the roar of Bhīmasena and Jarāsandha, or is the earth itself being torn apart?

द्विधा चिच्छेद वै तत्तु जरासन्धवधं प्रति ॥ २.२५.१५ ॥

शवभूतस्तदा राजन्पिण्डीकृत इवाबबौ ॥ २.२५.२१ ॥

रात्रौ गतासुमुत्सृज्य निश्चक्रमुररिन्दमाः ॥ २.२५.२२ ॥

अभ्यासघाती सन्दृश्यो दुर्जयः सर्वराजभिः ॥ २.२५.२६ ॥
He, named Sodaryavān, fighting two at once, with Kṛṣṇa as charioteer, a striker at close quarters, conspicuous, unconquerable by all kings.
2.25.27
भीमार्जुनाभ्यां योधाभ्यामास्थितः कृष्णसारथिः ।
शुशुभे रथवर्योऽसौ दुर्जयः सर्वधन्विभिः ॥ २.२५.२७ ॥

रथेन तेन वै कृष्ण उपारुह्य ययौ तदा ॥ २.२५.२८ ॥
Indra and Viṣṇu indeed moved about in battle, in the struggle against Tāraka; mounting that same chariot, Kṛṣṇa then went forward.

कृष्णप्रणीतौ लोकेऽस्मिन्नथे को द्रष्टुमर्हति ॥ २.२५.२९ ॥
Thus those two mighty-armed heroes, doers of difficult deeds then, led by Kṛṣṇa, in this world — who could look upon them?

मेघनिर्घोषनादेन जैत्रेणामित्रघातिना ॥ २.२५.३१ ॥
With the sheen of heated gold, garlanded with a net of tinkling bells, with a roar like thundering clouds, victorious and slayer of enemies.

क्षणे तस्मिन्स तेनासीच्चैत्यवृक्ष इवोत्थितः ॥ २.२५.३६ ॥

आदित्य इव मध्याह्ने सहस्रकिरणावृतः ॥ २.२५.३८ ॥
Hard for beings to look upon, it shone exceedingly with its brilliance, like the sun at midday surrounded by a thousand rays.
2.25.39
न सज्जति वृक्षेषु शस्त्रैश्चापि न रिष्यते ।
दिव्यो ध्वजवरो राजन्दृश्यते चेह मानुषैः ॥ २.२५.३९ ॥
It does not catch on trees, nor is it harmed by weapons. O king, this divine, excellent banner is seen here by men.

गिरिव्रजाद्बहिस्तस्थौ समदेशे महायशाः ॥ २.२५.४२ ॥
Having gone forth from there, the mighty-armed, lotus-eyed one of great fame stood outside Giriव्रaja, in a level place.

कृतमित्येव तद्विद्वि नृपैर्ययद्यपि दुष्करम् ॥ २.२५.४८ ॥
O tiger among men, command us, who stand in humble reverence, what deed is to be done; know that this has been done, though for kings it was difficult.

कृच्छ्राञ्जग्राह गोविन्दस्तेषां तदनुकम्पया ॥ २.२५.५२ ॥
Those lords of the earth made Dāśārha a sharer of the jewels, and Govinda, out of compassion for them, accepted it with difficulty.

उदकं तस्य चक्रेऽथ सहदेवः सहानुजः ॥ २.२५.६३ ॥
Being strewn on all sides, they burned the lord of Magadha; then Sahadeva, together with his younger brother, made the water offering for him.
