हता भुक्ता हृता पुष्टा स्वान्नश्रीरिव भोक्तृभिः ॥ १८ ॥

sā daivī dānavaiḥ senā bhīmabhāsadṛḍhādibhiḥ |
hatā bhuktā hṛtā puṣṭā svānnaśrīriva bhoktṛbhiḥ || 18 ||

The infernal force under the command of Bhima, Bhasa and Dridha, bruised and burned and slew and devoured the celestial phalanx, as men knead and fry and boil the rice and afterward eat up as their food.
