Then the king killed the enemy with his arrow
The army of the ganas looked towards him with malice, the king challenged Ganesh again, who being frightened ran away from the field.1527.
The Shiva became somewhat conscious and he fled away from the war-arena
Other ganas, ran away in fear, there seemed to be no warrior, who could confront the king.1528.
When Krishna saw Shiva running away, then he reflected in his mind that he would then fight with the enemy himself
Either he would kill the enemy of die himself.1529.
Then Krishna went before the king and waged a dreadful war
Making him the target, the king shot an arrow and dismounted Krishna from his chariot.1530.
Speech of the poet:
SWAYYA
He, whose name is muttered ever by Brahma, Indra, Sanak etc.
He, on whom Surya, Chandra, Narada, Sharda meditate
He, whom the adepts search in their contemplation and whose mystery is not comprehended by the great sages like Vyas and Prashar,
Kharag Singh caught him in the battlefield by his hair.1531.
He, who killed Putana, Bakasura, Aghasura and Dhenkasura in an instant
He, who became famous in all the three worlds by killing Keshi, Mahishasur, Mushiti, Chandur etc.
That Krishna, who had knocked down many enemies with skill and killed Kansa by catching him from his hair
The name Krishna has been caught by his hair by the king Kharag Singh, it seems that he has avenged the killing of Kansa by catching his hair.1532
The king then thought that if he killed Krishna, all his army would run away
With whom then he would fight?
To whom then he would inflict a wound or from whom he be wounded himself? Therefore, the king set Krishna free and said,” Go away, there is no other warrior like you.”1533.
The great bravery that the king exhibited, was incomparable
Seeing this spectacle all the warriors ran away, none of them caught him bow and arrows
The great fighters, fearing in their mind, abandoned their weapons and fled away and in the battlefield the king set free Krishna with his own will.1534.
CHAUPAI
When Krishna was set free, by loosening the grasp of his hair, he forgot his power and felt ashamed
Then Brahma manifested himself and ended the mental anxiety of Krishna.1535.
He (Brahma) said to Krishna, “O Lotus-eyed! do not feel ashamed
I now please you by relating the story of the bravery (of the king).”1536.
Speech of Brahma:
TOTAK
“When this king was born, he left his home and went to the forest
With great austerities, he pleased the goddess Chandika from whom he obtained the boon of conquering the enemy.1537.
