gadāyām - as His mace; apaviddhāyām - fell; hāhā-kāre - a cry of alarm; vinirgate - arose; mānayām āsa - acknowledged; tat - of Hiraṇyākṣa; dharmam - righteousness; sunābham - the Sudarśana cakra; ca - and; asmarat - remembered; vibhuḥ - the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

As the Lord’s mace fell to the ground and a cry of alarm arose from the witnessing crowd of gods and ṛṣis, the Personality of Godhead acknowledged the demon’s love of righteousness and therefore invoked His Sudarśana discus.
