तदनु मथुरां गत्वा हत्वा चमूं यवनाहृतां मगधपतिना मार्गे सैन्यै: पुरेव निवारित: । चरमविजयं दर्पायास्मै प्रदाय पलायितो जलधिनगरीं यातो वातालयेश्वर पाहि माम् ॥१२॥

After that, going to Mathura Thou destroyed the army brought by the Yavana while on Thy way, like before, the armies of the king of Magadha (Jaraasandha) obstructed Thee. To inflate his pride, Thou gave him the last (eighteenth) victory by fleeing to the ocean city of Dwaarakaa. O Lord of Guruvaayur! save me.
