Deliberately Bhīma arrived at the place of the demon very late. Baka rolled his eyes in anger at the sight of the late-comer. But Bhīma without heeding sat in front of the demon and started eating the rice and curry. Baka charged at Bhīma with fury but Bhīma defended and a battle ensued in which Baka was killed and he fell dead like a mountain-head dropping down.\* (Chapters 157-164, Ādi Parva, M.B.). - [Previous: c4.1507](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1507) - [Next: c4.1509](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1509) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1508](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.1508) · Pramāṇa
