Hearing of the slaughter of his servants, Hiraṇyākṣa becomes exceedingly enraged and leaps from his seat. He is consoled by Vipracitti and other Dānavas. By Hiraṇyākṣa's order, prominent heroes headed by Prahlāda set forth to subdue the Boar. Striking down the host of servants, the Boar reaches Aśmakapura and destroys the city gates and other structures. Followed by the Dānava heroes showering weapons, the Boar fights outside the city, taking his stand on level ground.
