BHUJANG PRAYAAT STANZA

ਹਲਾ ਚਾਲ ਕੈ ਕੈ ਪੁਨਰ ਬੀਰ ਢੂਕੇ ॥

halaa chaal kai kai punar beer dtooke |

ਮਚਿਯੋ ਜੁਧ ਜਿਯੋ ਕਰਨ ਸੰਗੰ ਘੜੂਕੇ ॥

machiyo judh jiyo karan sangan gharrooke |

After challenging each other, both the heroes began to fight again, and a dreadful war ensued between them for gaining victory over the other.

ਨਖੰ ਪਾਤ ਦੋਊ ਕਰੇ ਦੈਤ ਘਾਤੰ ॥

nakhan paat doaoo kare dait ghaatan |

ਮਨੋ ਗਜ ਜੁਟੇ ਬਨੰ ਮਸਤਿ ਮਾਤੰ ॥੩੮॥

mano gaj jutte banan masat maatan |38|

Both of them were giving destructive blows to one another with their nails and appeared like two intoxicated elephants fighting each other in the forest.38.

ਪੁਨਰ ਨਰਸਿੰਘੰ ਧਰਾ ਤਾਹਿ ਮਾਰਿਯੋ ॥

punar narasinghan dharaa taeh maariyo |

ਪੁਰਾਨੋ ਪਲਾਸੀ ਮਨੋ ਬਾਇ ਡਾਰਿਯੋ ॥

puraano palaasee mano baae ddaariyo |

Narsingh again threw Hiranayakashipu on the earth just as the old Palas tree (Butea frondosa) falls down on the earth with a gust of wind.

ਹਨ︀ਯੋ ਦੇਖਿ ਦੁਸਟੰ ਭਈ ਪੁਹਪ ਬਰਖੰ ॥

kee devatiyo aan kai jeet karakhan |39|

Seeing that tyrants hath died, sang many types of songs of victory.39.
