English Meaning
Seeing Triſira and Yuddhonmatta slain and seeing also the irrepressible Devāntaka and Narāntaka slain (in the encounter), that highly irascible and powerful Räkşasas-Matta, was transported with passion, and then took up a flaming mace entirely wrought with iron inlaid with gold; frothy with flesh and gore; mighty to behold; gratified with the blood of foes; with its end flaming in splendour; decked with red wreaths; and capable of striking terror into Airāvata and Mahāpadma and Sárvabhauma.* And flaming up like the fire arisen at the end of a Yuga, that foremost of Raksasas-Matta, wrought with fury, rushed against the monkeys. *Elephants of the cardinal points.
