tāra astra - their weapons; tāra aṅge - on their bodies; paḍe - fall; hāta haite - from their hands; khaṇḍa khaṇḍa - cut into pieces; haila - became; bhaṭṭathāri - the nomads; palāya - run away; cāri bhite - in the four directions.

However, their weapons fell from their hands and struck their own bodies. When some of the Bhaṭṭathāris were thus cut to pieces, the others ran away in the four directions.
