> kakudmino 'viddha-naso damitvā\
> svayaṁvare nāgnajitīm uvāha\
> tad-bhagnamānān api gṛdhyato 'jñāñ\
> jaghne 'kṣataḥ śastra-bhṛtaḥ sva-śastraiḥ

*kakudminaḥ*—bulls whose noses were not pierced; *aviddha-nasaḥ*—pierced by the nose; *damitvā*—subduing; *svayaṁvare*—in the open competition to select the bridegroom; *nāgnijitī*—Princess Nāgnijitī; *uvāha*—married; *tat-bhagnamānāḥ*—in that way all who were disappointed; *api*—even though; *gṛdhyaytaḥ*—wanted; *ajñān*—fools; *jaghne*—killed and wounded; *akṣataḥ*—without being wounded; *śastra-bhṛtaḥ*—equipped with all weapons; *sva-śastraiḥ*—by His own weapons.

**By subduing seven bulls whose noses were not pierced, the Lord achieved the hand of Princess Nāgnajitī in the open competition to select her bridegroom. Although the Lord was victorious, His competitors asked the hand of the princess, and thus there was a fight. Well equipped with weapons, the Lord killed or wounded all of them, but He was not hurt Himself.**
