and Nandin with his fist, Prabhāmaya with a paṭṭiśa, / Pūṣan with a broad-headed arrow, and Yama with a mace. / Having swiftly struck all his enemies in battle, Andhaka / leaped up into the sky and bellowed like a cloud drunk with water. / That deceptive fighter, who resembled a mountain, released mountain-peaks, / filled with trees, bushes, and serpents, and roared aloud. / That terrible rain of mountain-summits, along with trees, bears, and great serpents, / fell upon the armies of the gods, like cold frost upon lotuses. / Without pause, without rest, without breath, bewildered by terror, / […] / with noses, eyes, teeth, and lips severed, legs, hips, and arms broken, / terrified, bewildered, and trembling, the Pramathas and immortals were seen. / Raining palace-peaks, stones, and weapons, repeatedly casting them down, the Asura shone in the sky; / […] / […] sound, / a great lotus covered in smoke, and great fiery dust like fireflies. / With a roar like an overflowing, swollen ocean, situated in the sky, that enemy of the hosts of deities / repeatedly poured down a great torrent of water, just as a rain-cloud pours a fierce shower at the end of time. / Thus ends the one hundred and fifty-second chapter in the Skandapurāṇa, in [the section of] the battle with Andhaka. / Sanatkumāra said: / Then Andhaka, standing in the sky like a mass of great clouds, / ceased that rain of stones just as a cloud [stops] its rain.
