One day the king went to the school and seeing his son, he was startled.
(He said) "Listen, hear what (you) have read from the Brahman.
When the king asked, the child told whatever he had learnt and fearlessly began to read the Name of Lord-God.5.
On hearing the name of Gopal, the demon got angry.
On hearing the Name of Lord-God, the demon became furious and said, “Who else is there except me on whom you are meditating?”
(Hirankashpa) made up his mind that this child has to be killed.
He decided to kill this student and said, “O fool why are you repeating the name of Lord-God?”6.
I alone am the hero in water and land.
“Only Hiranayakashipu is considered the mithty-one in water and on land , then why are you repeating the name of Lord-God”?
Only then tied it to the pillar.
Then, as commanded by the king, the demons tied him with the column.7.
They took the foolish giant to kill the child.
When those foolish persons advanced to kill this student, the Lord manifested Himself at the same time in order to protect His disciple.
All men were astonished to see him,
Al those who saw the Lord at that time were astonished, the Lord had manifested Himself by tearing off the doors.8
Seeing (Narsingha) all the gods
Seeing Him, all the gods and demons trembled and all the animate and inanimate objects became fearful in their bearts
Narsingh, the finisher of the males, roared
The Lord in the form of Narsingh (man-lion), with red eyes and the mouth filled with blood, thundered dreadfully.9.
When Narsingh roared into the wilderness
Seeing this and hearing the thunder of Narsingh all the demons fled
The only king (Hirnakshapa).
Only the Emperor, fearlessly holding his mace in his hand, stood firmly in that battlefield.10.
When the king (Hirnakshapa) challenged
When the Emperor roared loudly, then all the brave warriors trembled and all those warriors came forward in groups before that lion.
Whoever came forth to fight,
All those who went in front of Narsingh, He caught hold of all those warriors like a juggler and knocked them down of the ground.11.
Most of the warriors used to challenge
The warriors shouted loudly at one another and saturated with blood began to fall.
Enemies came from all four sides
The enemies advanced from all the four sides with such intensity like the clouds in the rainy season.12.
Warriors were coming from ten directions and Shila (by rubbing on it)
Advancing from all the ten directions, the warriors began to shower the arrows and stones
Arrows and swords glittered in war.
The swords and arrows glistened in the war-field and the brave fighters began to flutter their flags.13.
The persistent warriors with loud shouts are showering a volley of arrows in this way,
As if it is the second cloudburst in the mont of Swan
The flags are fluttering and the horses are neighing
And seeing all this scene, the heart of the demon-king was filled with fear.14.
The horses are neighing and the elephants are roaring
The chopped long arms of the warriors look like the flag of Indra
The warriors are writhing and the elephants are roaring in such a way,
That the clouds of the month of Sawan are feeling shy.15.
As soon as the horse of Hiranayakashipu turned a little, he himself deviated and retraced two steps
But still he was infuriated in the manner of the snake who gets infuriated when its tail is crushed by a foot
His face was shining in the battlefield,
Like the blossoming of the lotus on seeing the sun.16.
The horse made such a commotion in the field
