Viṣṇu afterwards, revived and He took up His invincible quoit of the splendour of the Sun and threw it at the chest of the demon It seemed that the chakra was anxious to devour the flesh, fat and marrow of the demon That quoit shining like the sun dashing against the chest of the demon became smashed like a blue lotus falling on a bed of rock Afterwards Indra threw his thunderbolt but the missile by means of which he thought of conquering the demon was also blown to pieces on hitting the demon Then Vâyu hit the chest of the demon with his goad burning like fire which was also rendered futile, then He uprooting a mountain along with trees measuring five yojanas hurled at the demon who on seeing it advancing towards him caught it like a ball in his left hand—198 205
