Those blows did not, in the least, affect Svâmikârtika, and all became futile Then the chief demons all clever in warfare began to strike Prâsa and Śilimukha weapons on Kumâra Kumâra though struck, did not feel any pain That battle destroyed many Devas when Svâmikârtika seeing them in distress angrily took up His arms and began to cause disaster to the demons which made Kalanemi and others turn their backs on the battlefield Many demons were killed and many fled At that instant, Târakâsura seeing what was happening, turned up with a club decorated with the network of gold, and violently struck Svâmikârtika with it, His peacock struck by this, fled away—14-20
