SB 10.50.30
jagraha viratham ramo
 jarasandham maha-balam
hatanikavasistasum
 simhah simham ivaujasa

Translation:
Jarasandha, with his chariot lost and all his soldiers dead, was left with only his breath. At that point Lord Balarama forcibly seized the powerful warrior, just as one lion takes hold of another.



SB 10.50.31
badhyamanam hataratim
 pasair varuna-manusaih
varayam asa govindas
 tena karya-cikirsaya

Translation:
With the divine noose of Varuna and other, mortal ropes, Balarama began tying up Jarasandha, who had killed so many foes. But Lord Govinda still had a purpose to fulfill through Jarasandha, and thus He asked Balarama to stop.

Purport:
The word hataratim means “who has killed his enemies,” or “through whom his enemies would be killed.” Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti has provided this thoughtful note.
