jajvalurdevasainyāni sasyandanagajāni tu
dahyamāneṣvanīkeṣu tejasā surasattamaḥ //

The demon's Sailastra became futile and he used the violent Agnika-astra which became radiant and made Indra's Vajrastra useless It spread on all sides when chariots, elephants, etc and the army of the Devas began to burn Seeing his army being thus consumed, Indra used His Agnyastra which extended itself, thwarted Aisiḳâstra and began to consume Jambha along with his chariot and charioteer He then discharged his Varuṇâstra Huge clouds with lightning suddenly rose in the heaven, thundering like Muraga tune and began to pour out rain, every shower of rain looking like the leg of an elephant The huge torrents of rain coming down like the trunk of elephant filled the land with water—96-103

A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam
