ghaṭasva tvaṁ jigīṣasi
ghaṭasva tvaṁ jigīṣasi
ity uktaḥ sa tadā bhūyas
tāḍayan vyanadad bhṛśam
The Lord said, “You desire to win. Take up your weapon and fight with enthusiasm.” Addressed thus, the demon again attempted to strike the Lord with his club, making a loud noise.
|| 3.19.11||
tāṁ sa āpatatīṁ vīkṣya
bhagavān samavasthitaḥ
jagrāha līlayā prāptāṁ
garutmān iva pannagīm
Seeing the enemy’s club approaching, the Lord playfully caught as it arrived, just as Garuḍa catches a female snake.
Tām refers to the club.
|| 3.19.12||
sva-pauruṣe pratihate
hata-māno mahāsuraḥ
naicchad gadāṁ dīyamānāṁ
hariṇā vigata-prabhaḥ
His prowess thwarted, his pride deflated, the great demon did not desire to receive that club offered back to him by the Lord.
|| 3.19.13||
jagrāha tri-śikhaṁ śūlaṁ
jvalaj-jvalana-lolupam
yajñāya dhṛta-rūpāya
viprāyābhicaran yathā
The demon threw a lance with three points, which, like a blazing fire, was eager to devour the Lord in the form of a boar, just as a person performs sacrifice to kill a brāhmaṇa.
He threw a lance which was eager to devour everything, like a blazing fire with flames, at the Lord who was the form of sacrifice. An example is given to show how this act was improper.
|| 3.19.14||
tad ojasā daitya-mahā-bhaṭārpitaṁ
cakāsad antaḥ-kha udīrṇa-dīdhiti
cakreṇa ciccheda niśāta-neminā
harir yathā tārkṣya-patatram ujjhitam
Just as Indra cut off the wing that Garuḍa abandoned, the Lord, using the sharp blade of his cakra, cut the trident thrown by the greatest among demons with force, whose brilliance lit up the sky.
The Lord cut up the trident which, radiating great light within itself, even lit up the sky, or which radiated light which spread in the sky, with the sharp blade of his cakra, just as Indra (hariḥ) cut off the wing that Garuḍa had already rejected. Garuḍa, who was carrying the pot of nectar, gave up one of his wings in order to protect the infallibility of the thunderbolt employed by Indra. The trident appeared like the already cut wing of Garuḍa, lighting up the sky.
