The latter was bitten by a serpent and died in consequence. Jañmejaya, therefore, to avenge his father's death, performed a great sacrifice to consume all the serpents in which a large number of them was destroyed. From his wife, Krodhavaśâ, Kaśyapa had a race of Krodhavaśâ demons, numbering a million who were ultimately killed by Bhîmasena—a hero of Mahâbhârata.—43. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 6.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.6.42) - [Next: 6.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.6.44) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.6) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.6.p25) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.6.43) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.6.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.6.43) · Pramāṇa
