Sandh said, ‘I will marry you,’ but Apsandh stressed, ‘No, I espouse you.’
There was a lot of quarrel between the two
The dispute was ensued among them and they started to fight.(12)
Bhujang Chhand
A great fight followed and powerful warriors confronted each other.
From all four sides they converged.
Furiously, many Kashatris inflicted injuries.
The shields and the spears dominated everywhere.(13)
Sorath
Many a death knell and the warriors rejoiced.
None of the heroes survived, the famine consumed them all. 14.
Dohira
As soon as the music of death rolled, the dauntless ones faced each other.
In the accompaniment of the drums, Sandh and Apsandh roared.(15)
Chaupaee
The first blow was the arrows.
Primarily the arrows dominated, then the spears sparkled.
The third war was of swords.
Then the swords and then the daggers glittered.(16)
Dohira
Then came the turn of the boxing, and the hands swung like steel.
The strong, the weak, the brave and the coward were becoming indistinguishable.( 17)
Arrows, spears, scorpions and various types of arrows
And high and low, timid and brave, no one could escape alive. 18.
Savaiyya
The stampede was heightened as Sandh on the one side and Apsandh on the other stormed.
In great furry they raided each other with various arms.
Dead Rajas along with their crowns were found lying down.
Punished by the Creator, the fighters from both sides had taken shelter under Kaal, the god of death.(19)
Chaupaee
Both heroes fought each other
The intrepid fought among themselves and were killed with the arrows as hard as stones.
(After this) it started raining like a substitute for flowers
The flowers started to pour from the heaven and the celestial gods felt the sighs of relief.(20)

After annihilating both the brothers, the woman left for Godly domain,
Gratitude were showered from everywhere and Devraj, the Almighty, was much appeased.(21)(1)

Chaupaee
When the giants fought a fierce war
When the devils indulged in war, Devraj went to Indra’s house.
(He) hid in the lotus
He (Indra) hid himself in the stem of the Sun-flower, and neither Sachee nor anybody else could see him(1)
All began to search for Indra ('Basava').
All, including Sachee, became apprehensive,
(He) searched all around, but could not find anywhere.
As, in spite of searching, he could not be found.(2)
