iti - thus; udāra - generous; matiḥ - whose mentality; prāha - said; kṛṣṇa-arjuna-vṛkodarān - to Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna and Bhīma; he vipraḥ - O learned brāhmaṇas; vriyatām - let it be chosen; kāmaḥ - what you desire; dadāmi - I will give; ātma - my own; śiraḥ - head; api - even; vaḥ - to you.

[Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued:] Thus making up his mind, the generous Jarāsandha addressed Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna and Bhīma: “O learned brāhmaṇas, choose whatever you wish. I will give it to you, even if it is my own head.”
