SB 10.44.3
aratnī dve aratnibhyāṁ
jānubhyāṁ caiva jānunī
śiraḥ śīrṣṇorasoras tāv
anyonyam abhijaghnatuḥ
jānubhyāṁ caiva jānunī
śiraḥ śīrṣṇorasoras tāv
anyonyam abhijaghnatuḥ
Word for word:
Translation:
They each struck fists against fists, knees against knees, head against head and chest against chest.
Purport:
The word aratni in this verse may indicate the elbow as well as the fist. Thus blows were perhaps also struck with the elbow, a technique seen today in various martial arts.
