Blow
for blow arid hit for hit, exchanged they without break
Earth began quivering as the echoes' reverberated unending
Satyaki's boiling rage, nor his ton weight blows bore any fruit
Ironically, it grow in strength, shape and size minute by minute
Yes, horizontally and vertically, till becoming a man-mountain
His zest for fighting reached the apex with diminishing of Satyaki's
Why, at every blow received his hidden energy multiplied and went on
At last he moved off thrusting aside the Satyaki's corpse-like body.
Satyaki rose up gasping later, to hand over the charge to Balarama
Sooner than done; he fell down unable to speak even a word
While Balarama was in office scrupulously attending to duty
The very same giant in much worse ghastliness re-entered
The feeling of incarnation ignited his pride of supererogation
Out went his poise and down flowed anger-pride's inveterate ally
What a miracle, the giant started growing fast in awful ferocity
Faster than Balarama's uncontrollable anger mounting higher.
