THE KILLING OF NARAKASURA
 
इन्द्रेण हृतच्छत्रेण ज्ञापितो भौमचेष्टितम् ।
सभार्यो गरुडारूढः प्राग्ज्योतिषपुरं ययौ ॥
 
Informed of the activities of (the
demon) Bhauma* by Indra whose emblem
of sovereignty, the umbrella, had been
carried away (by Bhauma), the Lord,
mounting Garuda, went to the capital
city of the Pragjyotishas along with his
wife, (Satyabhama). t
 
पाञ्चजन्यध्वनिं श्रुत्वा युगान्ताशनिभीषणम् ।
मुरश्श्यान उत्तस्थौ दैत्यः पञ्चशिरा जलात् ॥
 
Hearing the sound of the Panchajanya
(the Lord's conch), dreadful like the
thunder at the time of the aeon-end, the
five-headed demon, Mura, who was
sleeping, rose out of the waters.
 
*Narakasura, born of Mother Earth and the Lord,
when the latter in the form of the Boar, lifted the
former out of the ocean.
 
Satyabhama was the
 
t Krishna's second wife
daughter of Satrajit.
