Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 3 - Chapter 1 - Verse 4


Sanskrit:

ककुद्मिनोऽविद्धनसो दमित्वास्वयंवरे नाग्नजितीमुवाह ।तद्भग्नमानानपि गृध्यतोऽज्ञा-ञ्जघ्नेऽक्षत: शस्त्रभृत: स्वशस्त्रै: ॥ ४ ॥

ITRANS:

kakudmino ’viddha-naso damitvāsvayaṁvare nāgnajitīm uvāhatad-bhagnamānān api gṛdhyato ’jñāñjaghne ’kṣataḥ śastra-bhṛtaḥ sva-śastraiḥ

Translation:

By subduing seven bulls whose noses were not pierced, the Lord achieved the hand of Princess Nāgnijitī in the open competition to select her bridegroom. Although the Lord was victorious, His competitors asked the hand of the princess, and thus there was a fight. Well equipped with weapons, the Lord killed or wounded all of them, but He Himself was not hurt.
