ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥

SWAYYA,

Opening all the gates and portals of the citadel, the army of Indra, the enemy of demons marched outside.,

All of them assembled in the battlefield and the army of the enemy, seeing the army of Indra, trembled like a leaf.,

The elephants and horses tall trees and the warriors on foot and on chariots move like fruit, flowers and buds.,

In order to destroy the clouds-like forces of Sumbh, Indra came forward like mighty wind-god.64.,

Indra came forward in great rage from this side and from the other side Sumbh marched for war.,

There are bows, arrows, swords, maces etc., in the hands of the warriors and they are wearing armour on their bodies.,

Undoubtedly horrible playing began from both sides.,

The jackals and vulture began to pour into the battlefield on hearing the terrible sounds and the joy increased amongst the Ganas of Shiva.65.,

On this side, Indra is getting very furious and on the other side, all the army of the demons hath assembled.,

The army of demons appears like the sun-chariot of the Lord encircled by the dark thundering clouds.,

The sharp edges of the arrows shot from the bow of Indra, poiercing the hearts of the enemies glisten.,

Like the beaks of the young once of strokes spread in the caves of the mountains.66.,

Seeing the king Sumbh pierced by the arrows, the demons-forces jumped into the battlefield, drawing out their swords.,

They slayed many enemies in the field and in this way good deal of the blood of the gods flowed.,

Various types of ganas, jackals, vultures, ghosts etc., appearing in the battlefield, produced various sounds in such a way,

As though the warriors, at the time of taking bath in Saraswati river are removing various types of their sins.67.,

Nisumbh then waged such a terrible war, as none of the demons had waged earlier.,

The corpses are amassed on corpses and their flesh is being eaten by jackals and vultures.,

The white current of fat coming out of the heads is falling on the ground in this way,

As if the current of Ganga hath gushed out of he hair of Shiva.68.,

The hair of the heads are floating on water like scum and the canopies of the kings like froth.,

The gingers of hands are writhing like fish and the chopped arms seem like serpents.,

Within the blood of the horses, chariots and wheels of chariots are rotating as in whirlpools of water.,

Sumbh and Nisumbh waged such a furious war together which hath caused the flow of the stream of blood in the field.69.,
