na śekuścalituṃ devāḥ kālanemihatā yudhi.

Some of them killed their foes by pushing them by their shields The warriors wounded in the battle vomitted blood like the clouds pouring out rain A fearful onslaught raged between the Devas and the demons The dense volleys of arrows shot from both the armies covered the sky like clouds and the weapons looked like rainbows in the heavens afterwards Kâlanemi came charged with wrath like the surging ocean The clouds charged with lightning and making a thundering noise, began to be dispersed when they struck Kalanemi s luminous coronet and his body hard like a mountain When he began to breathe in his wrath, and with his twisted facea and wrinkled eyebrows sweats came out of his body and sparks of fire emitted. Sparks emitted from his mouth and his arm stretched towards the sky and the sides and grew in magnitude, and looked as if five hooded serpents had emerged from the mountains, and various kinds of weapons such as clubs, bows, etc, held by him looked beautiful like the mountain peaks touching the skies. When his garments were blown by wind, it seemed as if, the top of mount Meru was struck with the evening rays of the Sun. He knocked down many Devas by his violently striking them with mountain peaks and trees, and cut down many of them by his sword, who felt unable to move about He killed a good many by his blows. The Devas, the Gandharvas and the serpents, thus belaboured by Kalanemi, became lustreless and utterly helpless, and even the mighty Indra of a thousand eyes was entangled in his network of arrows—34 47.
