Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

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