गदायामपविद्धायां हाहाकारे विनिर्गते ।
मानयामास तद्धर्मं सुनाभं चास्मरद्विभुः ॥ ५ ॥
gadayam-as His mace; apaviddhayam-fell; haha-kare-a cry of alarm; vinirgate-arose; manayamasa-acknowledged; tat-of Hiranyaksa; dharmam-righteousness; sunabham-the Sudarsana cakra; ca-and; asmarat-remembered; vibhuh-the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
As His mace fell to the ground and a cry of alarm arose from the witnessing crowd of gods and rsis, the Personality of Godhead acknowledged the demon's love of righteousness and therefore invoked His Sudarsana discus.
