तथैव मुष्टिक: पूर्वं स्वमुष्ट्याभिहतेन वै । बलभद्रेण बलिना तलेनाभिहतो भृशम् ॥ २४ ॥ प्रवेपित: स रुधिरमुद्वमन् मुखतोऽर्दित: । व्यसु: पपातोर्व्युपस्थे वाताहत इवाङ्घ्रिप: ॥ २५ ॥
tathaiva muṣṭikaḥ pūrvaṁ
sva-muṣṭyābhihatena vai

talenābhihato bhṛśam
pravepitaḥ sa rudhiram
udvaman mukhato ’rditaḥ
vyasuḥ papātorvy-upasthe
vātāhata ivāṅghripaḥ
