• jahi — kill, please kill
  Imperative of √han. The same verb Kṛṣṇa uses to Arjuna at BG 11.34 (tvayā jitāḥ … jahi mā vyathiṣṭhāḥ). Rati commands the Lord's son the way Kṛṣṇa commands His friend: dharma-yuddha requires the imperative.
• durdharṣam-durjayam — difficult to approach and difficult to conquer
  Compound: dur-dharṣa (hard to assail) + dur-jaya (hard to defeat). Both formed with dur (difficult) + verbal root. The doubling acknowledges Śambara's real power; the Bhāgavatam never makes its demons paper villains.
• māyā-śata-vidam — who knows a hundred magic spells
  Compound: māyā (magic, illusion) + śata (hundred) + vidam (knower). Śambara is a master of māyā but not of Mahā-māyā — the distinction the next two verses turn on. Quantity of magic does not survive contact with the Lord's own potency.
• māyābhiḥ-mohana-ādibhiḥ — by bewildering magics and such
  Instrumental plural: māyābhiḥ (by magics) + mohana (bewilderment) + ādibhiḥ (etc.). Rati prescribes counter-māyā — the Lord defeats illusion with illusion's own grammar wielded by Mahā-māyā, His own internal potency.

  His Grace Padaseva Prabhu· Oriya

Rati hands Pradyumna a strategy: 'He knows a hundred magics; You must answer with bewildering magic.' The wife as war-counselor — Sītā prepared by Anasūyā, Draupadī advising the Pāṇḍavas, here Rati equipping Kāmadeva. Bhakti is not passivity; it puts weapons into the Lord's hand at the right hour.
