Clubs, iron maces, slings, and javelins, / and other weapons were seen issuing from the standard. (15) / By that Daitya relying on the standard, those gods were completely / routed, rendered senseless in battle, their prowess lost. (16) / Seeing all those best of gods broken and being shattered, / the Dānava, relying on the standard, roared like a raincloud. (17) / Perceiving that vulnerability of his, the blessed Pākaśāsana [Indra], / aiming at the standard, hurled his vajra in extreme fury. (18) / Resembling a blazing sun, accompanied by a terrible sound, / that vajra brought the lord of the Dānavas, along with his standard, into the realm of Yama. (19)
