kulam vyapadishan viiraH samare ko abhidhaasyati |mR^ityu kaale hi saMpraapte svayam aprastave stavam || 3-29-19
"Howsoever your ignominy is well shown by your self-praise, like the manifestation of gold on the tip of grass-blade burnt by fire, where the fire on grass-blade is no fire, and the bulb of fire appearing at the tip of grass-blade as a bulb of gold, is no gold. [3-29-20]
न तु माम् इह तिष्ठंतम् पश्यसि त्वम् गदा धरम् | धराधरम् इव अकंप्यम् पर्वतम् धातुभिः चितम् || ३-२९-२१

"As to how the Terminator wielding noose is enough to take away all the lives in all the three worlds, handling my mace I am enough for detracting your life from you. [3-29-22]
कामम् बहु अपि वक्तव्यम् त्वयि वक्ष्यामि न तु अहम् | अस्तम् प्राप्नोति सविता युद्ध विघ्नः ततो भवेत् || ३-२९-२३

"Even though much is to be said in your respect I will not continue to say, for the sun is getting at the dusk thereby disruption to war occurs. [3-29-23]
चतुर्दश सहस्राणि राक्षसानाम् हतानि ते | त्वत् विनाशात् करोमि अद्य तेषाम् अश्रु प्रमार्जनम् || ३-२९-२४
kaamam bahu api vaktavyam tvayi vakShyaami na tu aham |astam praapnoti savitaa yuddha vighnaH tato bhavet || 3-29-23
"You have killed fourteen thousand demons and on killing you I will wipe the tears of the wives of those dead demons today itself." Khara said so to Rama. [3-29-24]
इति उक्त्वा परम क्रुद्धः ताम् गदाम् परम अन्गदाम् | खरः चिक्षेप रामाय प्रदीप्ताम् अशनिम् यथा || ३-२९-२५
caturdasha sahasraaNi raakShasaanaam hataani te |tvat vinaashaat karomi adya teShaam ashru pramaarjanam || 3-29-24
Saying thus that highly infuriated Khara hurled his mace towards Rama, around which there are superb golden cinctures, and which is extremely glaring like a thunderbolt. [3-29-25]
खर बाहु प्रमुक्ता सा प्रदीप्ता महती गदा | भस्म वृक्षाम् च गुल्माम् च कृत्वा अगात् तत् समीपतः || ३-२९-२६
iti uktvaa parama kruddhaH taam gadaam parama angadaam |kharaH cikShepa raamaaya pradiiptaam ashanim yathaa || 3-29-25
Forcefully discharged from Khara's hands that highly fiery and stupendous mace rendering trees and shrubs down to ashes darted towards Rama. [3-29-26]
ताम् आपतन्तीम् महतीम् मृत्यु पाश उपमाम् गदाम् | अंतरिक्ष गताम् रामः चिच्छ्हेद बहुधा शरैः || ३-२९-२७
khara baahu pramuktaa saa pradiiptaa mahatii gadaa |bhasma vR^ikShaam ca gulmaam ca kR^itvaa agaat tat samiipataH || 3-29-26
When that monstrous mace similar to the halter of the Terminator is swooping down, Rama smashed it to smithereens with his arrows while it is still sky rocketing. [3-29-27]
सा विशीर्णा शरैः भिन्ना पपात धरणी तले | गदा मंत्र औषधि बलैर् व्याली इव विनिपातिता || ३-२९-२८
taam aapatantiim mahatiim mR^ityu paasha upamaam gadaam |a.ntarikSha gataam raamaH cicchhheda bahudhaa sharaiH || 3-29-27
That mace splintered with arrows of Rama fell crumbling onto the surface of earth as a springing female snake would fall down by the strength of spells and nostrums. [3-29-28]
