Translation
O club in the hand of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you produce sparks of fire as powerful as thunderbolts, and you are extremely dear to the Lord. I am also His servant. Therefore kindly help me pound to pieces the evil living beings known as Kuṣmāṇḍas, Vaināyakas, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas, Bhūtas and Grahas. Please pulverize them.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
O club! Giver of sparks as strong as lightning bolts! You are dear to the Lord! Tear up the Kuṣmāṇḍas, Vaināyakas, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas, ghosts and spirits. Pulverize my enemies!
O club, from which sparks emanate whose touch is like lightning! Pulverize (niṣpiṇḍhi) the Kuṣmaṇḍas!
