Sûta said:—When Grasana the General of the Daitya army was killed, all the demons began to fight with Viṣṇu in a disorderly manner. They discharged their clubs, maces, nooses, sharp pointed arrows, tridents and other weapons on the Lord Janârdana. The Lord, seeing those missiles flying at Him, cut them all into hundred pieces with His fiery arrows. The Danavas found that all their weapons and ammunitions had run short. Then the armless demons were greatly bewildered and none of them were capable of taking up their arms. They began to pelt the Lord with the carcasses of elephants, horses, etc. Viṣṇu then fought for a long time valiantly in the great battlefield. On His arms getting tired He said to Garuda: "Are you tired? If you do not feel jaded take me in front of the demon Mathana. But if you feel quite done up then go aside from the field of battle for a couple of hours." On hearing the behests of the Lord, Garuḍa went to Mathana. The demon seeing the Lord holding conch, quoit and club making an advance, shot at his chest his fearful arrows and sharp spear Bhindipâlâsa, but the Lord did not mind them and hit him with His ten sharp pointed arrows in the chest.—1-11.
