O saintly Vidura, while His enemy looked on, the Lord in His boar form, the enjoyer of all sacrificial offerings, playfully knocked down the mace with His left foot, even as it came upon Him with the force of a tempest.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

O Vidura! The boar, the form of sacrifice, easily deflected the club which had the speed of the wind using his left foot, while the enemy watched. Vāta-raṁhasam means “with the speed of the wind.”
