मृत्युदण्डमहाग्राहं शाल्मलीदुममण्डितम्। कालपाशमहावीचिं यमकिंकरपन्नगम ॥ महाज्वरेण दुर्धर्षं यमलोकमहार्णवम्। अवगाह्य त्वया राजन्यमस्य बलसागरम्॥ जयश्च विपुलः प्राप्तो मृत्युश्च प्रतिषेधितः। सुयुद्धेन च ते सर्वे लोकास्तत्र सुतोषिताः॥
mṛtyudaṇḍamahāgrāhaṃ śālmalīdumamaṇḍitam| kālapāśamahāvīciṃ yamakiṃkarapannagama || mahājvareṇa durdharṣaṃ yamalokamahārṇavam| avagāhya tvayā rājanyamasya balasāgaram|| jayaśca vipulaḥ prāpto mṛtyuśca pratiṣedhitaḥ| suyuddhena ca te sarve lokāstatra sutoṣitāḥ||
English Meaning
The dominion of Death is like the mighty main, having his rod for aquatic animals, agonies for the frees that cover its islands, the noose for the billows, his attendants for the serpents and his terrible fever for the dreadful attitude of the deep. And diving into this terrible deep, you did, O king, discomfit Death himself and win glorious victory. And every one was pleased there with your successful fight.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
