evam ruksais tudan vakyaih

 krsnam totrair iva dvipam

gadayatadayan murdhni

 simha-vad vyanadac ca sah

 

Translation: 

 

Thus trying to harass Lord Krsna with harsh words, as one might prick an elephant with sharp goads, Dantavakra struck the Lord on the head with his club and roared like a lion.
