Translation
The great sages, thus manifesting their covert anger, immediately decided to kill the King. King Vena was already as good as dead due to his blasphemy against the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus without using any weapons, the sages killed King Vena simply by high-sounding words.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The sages, deciding to kill him, increased their anger, and by incantations killed Vena, who was destroyed by criticism of the Lord.
