tataḥ sa megharūpī tu kālanemirmahāsuraḥ
śastravṛṣṭiṃ vavarṣogrāṃ devānīkeṣu durjayām //

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

A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam

Kalanemi, at the same time, poured out a shower of missiles on the Devas just as clouds shower rain The Devas oppressed with the shower of fearful missiles could not cope with the demons and looked like the cows oppressed with cold They left their arms and embraced one another and threw themselves behind their horses chariots etc They all hid themselves and most of them contracted their bodies and covered their faces with their hands Others took to their heels—181 184
