अलम्बुसो भृशं क्रुद्धो घटोत्कचम् अताडयत् ॥
घटोत्कचस् तु विंशत्या नाराचानां स्तनान्तरे ॥
अलम्बुसम् अथो विद्ध्वा सिंहवद् व्यनदन् मुहुः ॥
तथैवालम्बुसो राजन् हैडिम्बं युद्धदुर्मदम् ॥
विद्ध्वा विद्ध्वानदद् धृष्टः पूरयन् खं समन्ततः ॥
alambuso bhṛśaṃ kruddho ghaṭotkacam atāḍayat ||
ghaṭotkacas tu viṃśatyā nārācānāṃ stanāntare ||
alambusam atho viddhvā siṃhavad vyanadan muhuḥ ||
tathaivālambuso rājan haiḍimbaṃ yuddhadurmadam ||
viddhvā viddhvānadad dhṛṣṭaḥ pūrayan khaṃ samantataḥ ||
Alambusa, greatly enraged, struck Ghatotkacha, and Ghatotkacha struck him back with twenty iron arrows to the chest. So too Alambusa, O king, piercing again and again Hidimba's furious son, roared with joy, filling the sky on every side.

The fight runs evenly, blow for blow, roar for roar: two powers of darkness have met, yet one serves dharma while the other serves untruth. It is telling that outwardly they seem alike, and their difference lies not in form or weapon but in what they are given to. The verse teaches that likeness of means does not equalize opponents: the righteous and the unrighteous strike in the same manner, yet their fates differ by which side truth stands on — for strength is not holy or evil in itself, but only by the cause it serves.
