Sûta said—Afterwards, Dharmarâja seeing Grasana became overwhelmed with rage and showered arrows after arrows like flames of fire on him Then the demon pierced with many arrows took up his Bhairava bow to take revenge and shot five hundred arrows at Dharmarâja and made him feel his power The latter also realizing the power of this bow directed his more formidable arrows towards the enemy, but the demon Grasana cut that volley of arrows by his own, on their way in the atmosphere Dharmarâja finding His arrows ineffective thought of many other arrows, and hurled His fearful club in front of the demon's chariot with velocity But the latter, seeing it coming towards him in the air, jumped and caught hold of it with his left hand And with the very same missile, he hit the buffalo of Dharmarâja with great rage which instantly fell down on the ground Yama at once jumped down from that falling buffalo and hit Grasana with a javelin named Prasa weapon By the blow of that the demon fell down senseless Seeing which the valiant Jambha appeared on the scene—1-10 He instantly hit Yama in the chest with Bhindipâla weapon which caused the blood to gush out through His mouth At that time, seeing Yama so belaboured, Kuvera armed with a club, turned up with an army of hundreds of Yaksâs and angrily went towards the demon Then Jambha also angrily advanced with his army of the demons and seeing Kuvera, addressed him gently like a wise man.—11-13
