अशान्तसमरोद्धतं बिटपपाटनासंज्ञया
निपात्य जररस्सुतं पवनजेन निष्पाटितम् ।
विमुच्य नृपतीन् मुदा समनुगृह्य भक्तिं परां
दिदेशिथ गतस्पृहानपि च धर्मगुप्त्यै भुव: ॥५॥

Jarasandha, who, in his arrogance, was fighting ferociously, was killed by Bhima, byhis body being split vertically down the middle, following a hint from Thee, by the act ofsplitting a twig. Then, Thou didst release the Kings from captivity and, besides,blessing them with joy, The captive kings were then released and Thou happily blessed them with supreme devotion. They were all devoid of all desire, yet Thou engaged them to rule the earth ethically and as per Dharma.
