pracchādya gaganābhogaṃ ravimāyāṃ vyanāśayat
śītaṃ vavarṣa salilaṃ dānavendrabalaṃ prati //

A stream of blood ran out of their mouths and thousands of demons were found lying dead When those demons began to be destroyed like that, Kalanemi with his eyes turned red with rage created masses of clouds like those at the time of the dissolution of the world and raised a most thrilling yell There flowed hundreds of rivers The sky was thus overcast and dispelled the glory of the Sun, a downpour of cold showers fell on the armies of the demons This gave comfort to the demons just as sprouts come out of the ground on getting rainwater—176-180
