Translation

Traducción

Just like serpents, who cannot tolerate being trampled upon by anyone’s feet, the Yakṣas, being intolerant of the wonderful prowess of Dhruva Mahārāja, threw twice as many arrows — six from each of their soldiers — and thus they very valiantly exhibited their prowess.

Como serpientes que no pueden soportar que nadie las pisotee, los yakṣas, no pudiendo soportar el maravilloso poderío de Dhruva Mahārāja, dispararon el doble de flechas que él —seis cada soldado—, manifestando con gran valentía su propia destreza.
