Verse 402

असद्वृत्तानां सुखं द्यति खण्डयतीति वा सुखदः ।प्रत्युपकारनिरपेक्षतयोपकारित्वात् सुहृत् ।निरतिशयानन्दरूपत्वात् मनो हरतीति मनोहरः, 'यो वै भूमा तत्सुखं नाल्पे सुखमस्ति' इति श्रुतेः ।जितः क्रोधो येन सः जितक्रोधः; वेदमर्यादास्थापनार्थं सुरारीन् हन्ति, न तु कोपवशादिति ।त्रिदशशत्रून्विघ्नन्वेदमर्यादां स्थापयन् विक्रमशाली बाहुरस्येति वीरबाहुः ।अधार्मिकान् विदारयतीति विदारणः ॥

In plain words

Or Sukhada is He who curtails worldly comfort for the unrighteous. He is Suhṛt, the true friend who aids all beings without expecting any return. He is Manohara because He ravishes the mind as the embodiment of unsurpassed bliss, as scripture proclaims: 'That infinite is bliss itself; there is no lasting joy in the finite.' He is Jitakrodha, the conqueror of wrath; when He destroys the foes of the gods to uphold moral law, He acts out of righteousness, never from personal rage. He is Vīrabāhu, whose heroic arm strikes down the enemies of the deities while firmly establishing the sacred order. And He is Vidāraṇa, the fierce destroyer who tears asunder the unrighteous.
