> तां स आपततीं वीक्ष्य भगवान्समवस्थितः ।\

> tāṁ sa āpatatīṁ vīkṣya\
> bhagavān samavasthitaḥ\
> jagrāha līlayā prāptāṁ\
> garutmān iva pannagīm

*tām*—that mace; *saḥ*—He; *āpatatīm*—flying towards; *vīkṣya*—after seeing; *bhagavān*—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; *samavasthitaḥ*—stood firmly; *jagrāha*—caught; *līlayā*—easily; *prāptām*—entered into His presence; *garutmān*—Garuḍa; *iva*—as; *pannagīm*—a serpent.

**When the Lord saw the mace flying towards Him, He stood firmly where He was and caught it with the same ease as Garuḍa, the king of birds, would seize a serpent.**
