In the meanwhile, the demon Grasana also came to his senses and hurled a very heavy club studded with jems on Dharmarâja; at which the Latter also hurled angrily His most formidable all destroying blazing Danda (rod) to rend the club of his adversary Yama’s rod and the Demon's club struck each other in the air and a tumultuous sound like that of the thunder, arose The two weapons looked like two mountains in their encounter with each other By their collision, the beings in all directions were rendered senseless The universe trembled with the fear of being annihilated Their friction produced a blaze and the sky looked terrible at that moment, as if meteors were going to fall Sometime after, the missile of Dharmarâja breaking the club of the demon hit him on the head Just as the ills of the wicked deprive them of pelf, similarly the demon was struck with the blow of that club He fell down blinded by its force and was rolling in dust After this there was a great uproar in both the armies.—14-21
