Indra also began to discharge his arrows similarly when the demon cut down his arrows into ten pieces in the air by his own sharp and fiery arrows Afterwards, Indra covered the space with his arrows as the sky is covered by the banks of clouds during the rainy season But Jambha drove away the arrows of Indra, as the wind drives away the clouds, at which Indra felt excited and resorted to more severe measures He discharged His wonderful Gandharvâstra on the demon which covered the sky The sky was illuminated and hundreds of Gandharva towns were called into being in the firmament by virtue of that missile and a shower of arms began to pour in from those towns The demon army began to be destroyed when all of them went for succour to Jambha who also being pierced by the Gandharvâstra was horrified to hear the sufferings of the demons—78 85
