punar āsādya saṁrabdha
upakroṣṭā parāk sthitaḥ
caraṇāv aparau rājan
balāya prākṣipad ruṣā
punaḥ - again; āsādya - approaching Him; saṁrabdhaḥ - furious; upakroṣṭā - the ass; parāk - with his back toward the Lord; sthitaḥ - standing; caraṇau - two legs; aparau - hind; rājan - O King Parīkṣit; balāya - at Lord Balarāma; prākṣipat - he hurled; ruṣā - with anger.
The word upakroṣṭā indicates an ass and also one who is crying out nearby. Thus it is indicated herein that the powerful Dhenuka made horrible, angry sounds.
