Advancing with speed, even though he was being struck by [Yama's] attendants, / he, possessing great velocity, struck Yama on the chest with his fist. // 43 // / And again he struck his buffalo upon the head with his foot. / Both of them, bewildered, having spun around for a short distance there, // 44 // / quickly abandoned Andhaka, O best of sages, and departed. / Jayanta, reaching Ilvala, pierced him with ten arrows. // 45 // / Ilvala quickly cut down his banner adorned with gems, / the harness of his horses, and his golden whip. // 46 // / Deprived of their harness, his haughty horses abandoned the chariot / and ran away neighing; Jayanta was left without a chariot. // 47 // / Abandoning his chariot, the lord, the son of Śakra, standing on the ground, / felled Ilvala's horses, charioteer, and banner. // 48 // / Then, both having lost their chariots and desiring victory over each other, / pierced each other with sharp arrows on their bows. // 49 // / Warding off the arrows loosed at each other, / warding off missiles with missiles, both roared like two oceans. // 50 // / Then the glorious son of Śakra, having found an opening against him, / cut his bow with a broad-headed arrow and roared again and again. // 51 // / That daitya, whose bow was severed, whirled a sword / radiant like blazing fire and hurled it; and he then cut that [sword] as well. // 52
