He said "Brave warriors! you are skilled in warfare, expert in joying pleasures! Every one of you can singly uplift the world in the palm of your hand You can devour the world if you like The whole heaven cannot encounter wrath of any one of you You with your renowned prowess, are standing here in the great field of battle to attain victory Why are you then taking to your heels? Why are you sitting thus, defeated by the Devas? This is extremely unworthy to you! Târakâsura is your king and he can alone annihilate the universe. He is now sitting quiet. He will kill everyone of us if we turn our back on the battlefield." At that time, the demons were shivering with cold and they could not hear, they could not speak. They were simply making noise by grinding their teeth. They could not hear Kālanemi's words. Seeing which Kālanemi thought what he would do and magnified his body by His Māyā. He extended himself in all the directions and through his spell created thousands of suns. All the directions pervaded with heat and the universe began to suffer from it. That heat drove away the effect of the Moon and the freezing wind also ceased.—141-150.
