एवं युध्यन् भगवता भग्ने भग्ने पुन: पुन: । आकृष्य सर्वतो वृक्षान् निर्वृक्षमकरोद् वनम् ॥ २२ ॥
evaṁ yudhyan bhagavatā bhagne bhagne punaḥ punaḥ ākṛṣya sarvato vṛkṣān nirvṛkṣam akarod vanam
- evam
- in this way
- yudhyan
- (Dvivida) fighting
- bhagavatā
- by the Lord
- bhagne bhagne
- being repeatedly broken
- punaḥ punaḥ
- again and again
- ākṛṣya
- pulling out
- sarvataḥ
- from everywhere
- vṛkṣān
- trees
- nirvṛkṣam
- treeless

Thus fighting the Lord, who again and again demolished the trees He was attacked with, Dvivida kept on uprooting trees from all sides until the forest was left treeless.
