Getting agonised because of his wounds, the king said to his heroic soldiers, “The direction in which I went, no warrior could stand against me
“Listening to my thundering, no one till today, has caught hold of his weapons
Not withstanding such a position, the one who has fought with me is Krishna, the real hero.”2229.
When Sahasrabahu fled away from Krishna, he looked at his two remaining arms
He became extremely fearful in his mind
He, who has praised Krishna, he has earned approbation in the world
The poet Shyam has related the same virtues, according to his wisdom, by the grace of the saints.2230.
Shiva then came enraged taking all the ganas with him.
Getting infuriated again, Shiva reached before Krishna taking his ganas alongwith him
They were holding the bows, swords, maces and lances and blowing their war-horns while moving forward
Krishna despatched them (the ganas) to the abode of Yama in an instant.2231.
Many were killed by Krishna with his mace and many were killed by Shambar
Those who fought with Balram, they did not return alive
Those who came and fought again with Krishna, they were chopped into fragments and bits in such a way
, That they could not be had by the bultures and jackals.2232.
Seeing such a terrible war, Shiva in anger patted his arms, raised thundering voice
The manner in which the demon Andhaksura was attacked in rage,
Just as Andhaka was angry and attacked the giant, in the same way he attacked Sri Krishna in anger.
In the same way, he fell upon Krishna in great fury and it seemd that in order to fight with a lion, the second lion had come.2233.
Waging an extremely terrible war, Shiva held his lustrous Shakti (weapon)
Understanding this mystery, Krishna discharged his snow-showering shaft towards Shiva,
Seeing which that Shakti became powerless
It seemed that the cloud was flying away by the blow of wind.2234.
All the pride of Shiva was shattered in the war-arena
The shower of arrows discharged by Shiva could not strike even one arrow to Krishna
All the ganas with Shiva were wounded by Krishna
In this way, seeing the power of Krishna, Shiva, the Lord of ganas fell at the feet of Krishna.2235.
Speech of Shiva:
SWAYYA
“O Lord! I have executed a very mean task in thinking of fighting with you
What! if I fought with you in my fury, but you have shattered my pride at this place
Sheshnaga and Brahma have become tired of praising you
To what extent your virtues may be described? Because the Vedas could not completely describe your secret.”2236.
Speech of the poet:
SWAYYA
What then, if someone roamed wearing matted locks and adopting different guises
Closing his eyes and singing the Praises of the Lord,
And performing your aarti (circumambulation) by burning the incenses and blowing the conches
Buy the poet Shyam says that without love one cannot realise God, the hero of Braja.2237.
The four-mouthed (Brahma) sings the same praise as the six-mouthed (Kartike) and the thousand-mouthed (Seshnaga).
Brahma, Kartikeya, Sheshnaga, Narada, Indra, Shiva, Vyasa etc, all are singing the praise of God
All the four Vedas, seeking Him, have not been able to comprehend His mystery
The poet Sham says, tell me whether without love, someone has been able to please that Lord of Braja.2238.
Speech of Shiva addressed to Krishna:
SWAYYA
Shiva said, holding the feet of Krishna, “O Lord! listen to my request
This servant of your is asking for a boon, kindly bestow on me the same
“O Lord! looking towards me, mercifully, give your consent not to kill Sahasrabahu,
