dāmodaraṃ harer aṃśaṃ vinā kuryād idaṃ hi kaḥ /
ekasya hi prabhāsasya sarve 'py alpāḥ surā raṇe //

And in the meanwhile a conflict went on between Prabhása and Dámodara, terrible from its unceasing exchange of missiles. Then Dámodara, though his bow was cleft asunder, and his charioteer slain, took another bow and fought on, holding the reins in his own hands. And when Brahmá applauded him, Indra said to him, " Revered one, why are you pleased with one who is getting the worst of it?" Then Brahmá answered him,— " How can I help being pleased with one, who fights for so long with, this Prabhása? Who but Dámodara, who is a portion of Hari, would do this? For all the gods would be a scant match for Prabhása in fight. For that Asura Namuchi, who was so hard for the gods to subdue, and who was then born again as Prabala, one entire and perfect jewel, has now been born as the invincible Prabhása son of Bhása, and Bhása too was in a former birth the great Asura Kálanemi, who afterwards became Hiranyakaśipu and then Kapinjala. And Súryaprabha is the Asura who was called Sumundíka. And the Asura who was before called Hiranyáksha is now this Sunítha. And as for Prahasta and others, they are all Daityas and Dánavas; and since the Asuras slain by you have been born again in these forms, the other Asuras, Maya and others, have espoused their cause.
