Sanatkumāra said:
Then that dānava Virocana, whose chariot had been burned, standing in the sky,
swiftly drew his sword and, full of valor, cut down all the sharp arrows
of Pūṣan as they flew toward him, and his bow as well;
and then he struck him once more on the head with his sword.
Under that severe blow, his head streaming with blood,
[Pūṣan] quickly fell into the chariot-box like a flagstaff after a festival.
Seeing him fallen, that mighty lord of daityas seized him swiftly
and hurled him at the king of the gods, roaring like a raincloud.
And Mitra pierced Bali in the collarbone region with three arrows;
with a single broad-headed shaft, Bali severed his bow.
