With the housings and coverings of lordly elephants, blankets, and weapons,
that battleground shone like the sky with stars and planets. / 16
With varied drops of blood shed from the tips of claws and teeth,
the earth shone forth like a woman whose limbs are smeared with red sandalwood. / 17
Shooting an arrow radiant as the sun at Vināyaka,
Tuhuṇḍa laughed loudly, provoking his wrath. / 18
And as he was laughing, that Vināyaka, with a sharp-edged sword,
cut off his face adorned with large ear-rings. / 19
Seeing Tuhuṇḍa slain, Huṇḍa, distraught over his brother's slaughter,
hurled a spear at the elephant-faced god, as Indra hurls a thunderbolt at a mountain. / 20
That spear, adorned with hundreds of jewels, fell upon Vināyaka's gem,
and drank blood from his chest, resembling a blazing tongue of fire. / 21
