He hurled that fearful club at the head of Dharmarâja with great force, seeing which the Latter evaded its blow It, however, crushed several of His brave followers, seeing which Dharmarâja got greatly vexed and took up His formidable weapons to protect His followers The demon Grasana seeing the numerous followers of Yama, thought that the army was raised by the Mâyâ of Dharmarâja and began to shower arrows He got enraged like the ocean getting ferocious at the time of the annihilation of the world and pierced some with the trident and some with his arrows He powdered some with his club and destroyed others with his formidable spear Many were crushed by the blow of his arms Whereas some of Yama’s followers attacked with huge pieces of rocks and trees and very long tridents Other follwers of Dharmaraja began to bite the body of Grasana and inflict blows on his back—28 36
