tam - him; nigá¹›hya - holding fast; acyutaḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; dorbhyÄm - with His arms; pÄtayitvÄ - making him fall; mahÄ«-tale - onto the ground; paÅ›yatÄm - while they were watching; divi - in the heavenly planets; devÄnÄm - the demigods; paÅ›u-mÄram - as a sacrificial animal is slaughtered; amÄrayat - He killed him.
Lord Acyuta clutched VyomÄsura between His arms and threw him to the ground. Then, while the demigods in heaven looked on, Kṛṣṇa killed him in the same way that one kills a sacrificial animal.
The ÄcÄryas inform us that sacrificial animals were killed by means of strangulation.
