Sanatkumāra said:
While that battle was raging between the armies of the pramathas and the asuras, / the sound of bows was heard like clouds in the rainy season,
and the roar of mighty elephants, the neighing of horses, / and the cries of the gods and rakṣasas engrossed in the battle-gāndharva,
harsh to the ears, dreadful like the crash of a thunderbolt. / They are heard and indeed swell like the debts of debtors.
Then a Dānava named Kārtasvana, sounding like a cloud, / struck down the pramathas in battle like Death approaching mortals.
Mounted on his chariot, wielding a bow, holding arrows, armored, and wearing earrings, / he burned the army of the pramathas like fire burns dry grass.
