Afterwards, the Devas wandered hither and thither in utter dismay In course of such a fearful conflict, a large number of the Devas were lost Most of them were seen scattered on the ground with their limbs, arms thighs severed and their heads smashed and legs broken The train of banners was broken the chariots were smashed and turned upside down and the horses and elephants with their severed bodies fell to the ground The blood of the fallen victims of war spread all over the ground which presented an awful appearance In that way, the valiant Kalanemi showed his strength in the field of battle In the twinkling of an eye 100,000 Gandharvas 5 lacs of Yakṣas, 60 000 Raksasas 3 lacs most powerful and swift Kinnaras, and 7 lacs of Piśâchas were killed by the brave Kâlanemi—185 190
