136.2

sa dīrghamuṣṇaṃ niḥśvasya dānavānvīkṣya madhyagān
dadhyau lokakṣaye prāpte kālaṃ kāla ivāparaḥ //

Sûta said—Maya the most skilful of all the demons, after inflicting his blows on the Devas entered his castle Tripura as a patch of blue cloud merges into the blue sky And when he saw the demons there, he breathed heavy sighs and began to think, he looked then like a second Kâla, as if going to destroy all the worlds He thought—"Alas! Even the valiant Vidyunmâlî is slain before whom even Indra, desirous to fight, would have trembled with fear"—1 3
