Many died. Bāṇāsura, the son of Mahābali, fled from the battlefield and hid himself inside the mountain Krauñca. Subrahmanya cleft the mountain into two with the arrow given by Agni (Fire-god). Thus Krauñcāsura was liberated from the curse. (M.B. Śalya Parva, Chapter 46). - [Previous: c7.2573](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2573) - [Next: c7.2575](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2575) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2574](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2574) · Pramāṇa
