He began to inflict on Viṣṇu the blows of his keen trident and hit Garuḍa with his Śakti. Afterwards, with his mouth wide open like the cavity of a mountain he wanted to swallow up Viṣṇu along with Garuḍa. The Lord, also realizing the intention of that Dânava, filled his mouth with His divine arrows. He discharged His divine weapons electrified with mantras on Mahiṣâsura which knocked him down to the ground, he fell like a huge mountain, but he did not die.—18-22.
