ABSTRACT
In this manner he, the fire of Kaala1 for the Kaurava clan, a Narasimha who played upon the wide chest of the demon-born Dushasana, a cyclonic wind at the final deluge that uprooted the pride of the strong tree-like brother of the Kuru king, the encircling roaring ocean of dissolution that drowned the enemy’s mighty army, a majestic man supported by those terrible arms – on his mind weighed the vow to break the Kuru king’s thick, straight thighs. He, the fiery comet tail against the Serpent Flag Bearer, he causes the Pandava strength to glow, wall of the Pandava fort, a lone hero who tore Jarasandha’s joints apart, he: the tilaka of Satyashraya’s line, illustrious slayer, he is Yama, god of death dominating the brave soldiers of the enemy camp, Chalukya Narayana, Chalukya Lion, the Chalukya Sun, of spotless character, the Ammana Gandhavarana, he, the symbol of audacity is Bhimasena who in mounting anger has fulfilled his vow. With his savage claws the lion cleaves the forehead of the rut elephant: Is it befitting to be called an Enemy of Deer? You, who dichotomized Jarasandha: Does it honour you to be called the Enemy of Kurus? 2 40iṟvabeḍangadēva paramēśvara sāhasabhīma ninnoḷā riṟidu barduṅkuvar nijabhujōgragadāparighaprahāradin paṟivaṟiyāgi puṇṇuveṇanagi maruḷguṇisāgi yuddhadoḷ kuṟudaṟiyāgi biḻdaribalangaḷe pēḻave ninna bīraman 3
