Struck by that fist, Ghatotkacha staggered, like a mountain at an earthquake with its trees and thickets. Then he, with his mace-like arm that slays hosts of enemies, the son of Jatasura -- the son of Bhimasena -- struck hard with his fist. Having crushed him, then enraged, swiftly the son of Hidimba hurled [him] and with both hands, like the banners of Indra, ground him against the earth. And Alambala, having hurled and lifted the rakshasa, ground Ghatotkacha in battle, from wrath, against the earth.

Two giants hurl each other to the ground in turn: the clash reaches its extreme, bodily fury, where there is no more skill, only bare might. It is telling that even Ghatotkacha, son of Bhima, staggered, "like a mountain at an earthquake": nothing stands unshaken. The verse teaches that in a contest of equals the advantage passes from hand to hand, and each in turn both fells and is felled; victory goes not to the one who never fell, but to the one who rose last.
