Besides, He has killed Jambhâsura and Virochana. In course of the twelve battles, the Devas have killed most of your powerful members, by their various stratagems. Very few of you are left now, therefore follow my advice and cease fighting for sometime. I shall teach you a useful contrivance. I will go to acquire the spell of victory from Śiva, and, after acquiring those powerful charms from him, shall make you victorious in your fight with the Devas.”—71-75. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 47.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.47.71) - [Next: 47.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.47.73) - [Up: 47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.47) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.47.p26) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.47.72) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.1.13.209) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.47.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.47.72) · Pramāṇa
