ते ऽन्योन्यमभिसंसृत्य क्षिपन्तो मर्मभिर्मिथः ।
आह्वयन्तो विशन्तो ऽग्रे युयुधुर्द्वन्द्वयोधिनः ॥ २७ ॥
ksipanto marmabhir mithah
yuyudhur dvandva-yodhinah
te-all of them (the demigods and the demons); anyonyam-one another; abhisamsrtya-having come forward face to face; ksipantah-chastising one another; marmabhih mithah-with much pain to the cores of the hearts of one another; ahvayantah-addressing one another; visantah-having entered the battlefield; agre-in front; yuyudhuh-fought; dvandva-yodhinah-two combatants chose each other.
The demigods and demons came before each other and reproached one another with words piercing to the heart. Then they drew near and began fighting face to face in pairs.
