युद्धजयार्णवः (चक्राणि)
द्विभुजं वक्रचञ्चुं च गजकूर्मधरं प्रभुम् ।असंख्योरगपादस्थमागच्छन्तं खमध्यतः ॥ २३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 133, verse 23.
He is two-armed, with a curved beak. He carries an elephant and a tortoise. He is the lord. He stands on countless snakes and comes from the middle of the sky.
Simple meaning: Tarkshya is pictured with two arms, a curved beak, an elephant and a tortoise, standing on snakes.
ग्रसन्तं चैव खादन्तं तुदन्तं चाऽऽहवे रिपून् ।
In battle he swallows and pecks the enemies. Some are struck by his beak and some are crushed by his feet.
पक्षपातैश्चूर्णिताश्च केचिन्नष्टा दिशो दश ।
Some enemies are crushed by his wings and some flee. One who meditates on Tarkshya cannot be beaten.
पिच्छिकां तु प्रवक्ष्यामि मन्त्रसाधनजां क्रियाम् ॥ २६ ॥
Now comes a rite with a feather whisk, done with a spell.
