The poet says that seeing towards Balram, he caused his chariot to run towards him and then fell upon him
Krishna said, “He is Dhan Singh, who fought fearlessly
Bravo to him, who fought with him face to face and ferried across the world-ocean.”1121.
Saying thus with affection, Krishna thought about his life in this and the next world
On this side Gaj Singh, in great fury took his terrific lance in his hand,
And struck Balram saying this, “O Balram! where will you go now for your safety?”1122.
Cathing the coming lance, Balram took this measure: seeing towards the horses, he spread himself there making himself like an umbrella
The piercing point of the lance tearing the body to the other side is seen like an angry hooded snake looking from the top of a mountain.1123.
Pulling out the lance with his strength, Balram revolved it slantingly
It flashed and waved in the sky in this way as if the top-knot of someone was waving
Balram struck the same lance in the battlefield in great anger on Gaj Singh
The same lance being struck looked like the fatal fire sent by mighty Death to kill the king Parikshat.1124.
Gaj Singh took several steps, but he could not save himself
The lance penetrated in his chest, all the kings saw it and they lamented, wringing their hands
He received a dreadful wound and became unconscious, but he did not let go the arrows from his hand
Gaj Singh fell upon the horses of the chariot like the body of an elephant fallen on a mountain.1125.
When he regained consciousness, Gaj Singh pulled his terrible bow and pulling its string upto his ear discharged the arrow in great rage
Many arrows emanted from this arrow and not enduring the fury of these arrows Takashak, the king of the serpents alongwith all other serpents went to take refuge with Balram.1126.
Thundering in the battlefield, Gaj Singh said, “I have captured all the deities like Sheshanaga, Indra, Surya (Sun-god), Kuber, Shiva, Chandra (moon-god), Garuda etc.
“Listen to me clearly I have killed in the battlefield,
Whomsoever I wanted to kill, but I wonder why you have survived still?”1127.
Saying this, he pulled and threw his lance, which was seen by Balram who was holding his bow in his hand
With his great strength, he intercepted that lance and caused it to fall on the ground just like Garuda the king of birds catching and killing a flying serpent.1128.
In great fury, Gaj Singh struck the lance on the enemy, which hit the body of Balram
On receiving the blow of the lance, Balram suffered great agony
That lance pierced through the body to the other side and its visible blade looked like tortoise protruding its head through the current of Ganges.1129.
Balram pulled out the lance from his body and drooping down he fell upon the earth just as the Elysian tree, fully enlightened, falls down on the earth
When he regained his conscious, he, realizing the situation, got highly infuriated
Seeing the chariot, he jumped and mounted it like a lion jumping and ascending the mountain.1130.
He came forward again and fought with Gaj Singh and controlling the bow and arrows, sword, mace etc., he began to strike blows
He intercepted the arrows of the enemy with his own arrows
The poet says that Balram did not retrace even one step in the battlefield.1131.
Taking his plough and mace, Balram fought a dreadful battle and on this side Gaj Singh also threw his lance towards Balram
Seeing the coming lance, Balram intercepted it with his plough and threw its blade on the ground
And that bladeless lance came and struck the body of Balram.1132.
