अक्षया बलवन्तश्च शूरा लब्धवराः पुनः। त्वया संवत्सरं युद्ध्वा समरे दानवा विभो॥ स्वबलं समुपाश्रित्य नीता वशमरिन्दम। मायाश्चाधिगतास्तत्र वयो वै राक्षसाधिप॥
akṣayā balavantaśca śūrā labdhavarāḥ punaḥ| tvayā saṃvatsaraṃ yuddhvā samare dānavā vibho|| svabalaṃ samupāśritya nītā vaśamarindama| māyāścādhigatāstatra vayo vai rākṣasādhipa||
English Meaning
Those heroic Dänavas, the Kālakeyas, were greatly powerful, irrepressible, and proud of the boons conferred on them. And fighting with them perpetually for a year, you did bring them under your control, O lord, O slayer of foes, and learn from them the science o varied illusions, O king of the Rākşasas.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
