gadām - his club; āvidhya - whirling; tarasā - swiftly; pradyumnāya - at Pradyumna; mahā-ātmane - the wise; prakṣipya - threw; vyanadan nādam - creating a resonance; vajra - of lightning; niṣpeṣa - the striking; niṣṭhuram - as sharp.

Śambara whirled his club swiftly about and then hurled it at the wise Pradyumna, producing a sound as sharp as a thunder crack.
