Beginning of chapter 61: Vināyaka said: Never before have I seen one so strong and so surpassingly valiant. Now behold my manly strength, the doings of me, a boy. Beginning of chapter 62 — Ka said: She who was the wife of Raudraketu, that brahmin, named Śāradā — she was seated in Vidarbhā, full of curiosity, with her friends. Beginning of chapter 63 — The messengers said: Devāntaka, the most terrible, surrounded by terrible Daityas, countless and of many kinds, dealers of the fear of Death, his head in the sky. Ka said: With the Daitya Kālāntaka and with Prākāmya against each other — Kālāntaka prevails only so long as Prākāmya (does not act). (2891) Ka said: Hearing Buddhi's words the god, gaining joy, said to her. The god said: Go, fight with the Daitya, slay him, win renown. Having said this, he again drew an arrow from the quiver; drawing the bow to his ear, he shot it at Narāntaka. He too, mighty of strength, devoured them, past counting. Then Vināyaka, consecrating one great arrow with a spell — All the gods in their aerial cars came to watch the battle; then they trembled, and Śeṣa was afraid in the nether world. "And this hour has come; most likely death will be (mine)." Ka said: While he was thinking thus, he saw before him — Ka said: While he spoke thus, O lord of kings, all the townsfolk then said: "You are blessed! In the guise of a boy, ah, you set us all whirling!" And suddenly they saw Narāntaka's head, fallen in the courtyard, resplendent with its two earrings. "Where are those cloud-like (elephants?) whose (attendants) bore parasols and chowries? — he at the sight of whom choice women wither with the fire of separation, he who was Death even to the world, the five-mouthed lion to the elephant that is the foe: how have you become split in two, like a tree struck by the wind?" Hearing that lamentation thus, the company of heroes came; they restrained (her) with arguments, holding her forcibly by the hands. "That boy is verily mighty; he is known as Vināyaka. By him, my son, my brother Dhūmrākṣa was slain on the road." "Devāntaka too — countless (Daityas) swift-moving as birds — reaching the city of the king of Kāśī, would surround it on every side. We, bewildered at the sight of that, fled and came to you. The city is besieged, O king; do what you will do." He saw that wicked army and that intolerant Devāntaka; countless Daityas then swarmed like locusts. Seeing (him), Devāntaka thought within his mind: "I shall bind the boy in an instant" — and thus he came to battle. It is impossible to state their power in words, truly: the Daityas fought in eight formations, eight of them of great strength. Therefore the wise call that (which is) of the Barbara country by that name. Then the gods rejoiced, and, strong, they fought. Meanwhile Vaśitva rendered aid, swifter (than before). She flung that mountain peak upon his head with a deft hand. Blood flowed from his mouth; rolling on the ground he then gave up his life. And Mahiman and Laghiman and Gariman (flung) heaps of trees. For three days and nights there was terrible, unceasing battle; rivers of blood ran to the ten directions then, bearing heroes along. He flung it at the Daitya, (but) he cut it into a hundred pieces with his sword. Then the eight Siddhis, enraged, hurled many mountains. Having said this, Vināyaka gave her fine garments; and she, bowing then to the god, went towards the Daitya, to battle. She had no satiety, like a demon's with men. Seeing Devāntaka's power spent, she came at the army. But he, regaining consciousness, bathed and went home in silence, ashamed, face downcast, sunk in brooding, faded, sorely grieved.

Lighting up the vault of heaven, felling masses of trees, as though shaking it, it went towards Narāntaka, who was like a flower. It made the whole city resound, like a mountain peak — dark, touched with frost, lustreless like a lotus. Ka said: Hearing the news from the messenger's mouth, the king trembled; grown utterly downcast, he (went) to the boy Vināyaka. By that, Kālāntaka suddenly fell to the ground. Then, seeing Kālāntaka smeared with blood and split in two — At the sound of her whoop the three worlds shook; from her mouth came forth one most mighty Śakti.

That arrow cut off his feet, and he fell. When the Daitya had fallen, half his body (gone), Vināyaka roared. And Raudraketu was afraid, and Śāradā was distraught at the blow; attentive, the two saw (him), and then they wept bitterly. To him playing among the children he told the whole event. The king said: Homage be to you, O supreme Brahman, whose body is human for sport. There was a great cry of woe among the soldiers of the Daitya army; a Daitya lord named Musala, and another demon, Bhalla. Matted-haired, with distorted face, greedy to devour the world, casting forth masses of flame from her two huge eyes.

The two feet, whirling through the path of the sky, fell in Devāntaka's great house, pulverizing many people. They rolled upon the ground and beat upon his chest; both of them swooned, and after a moment (regained) consciousness, as it were. O teacher of the moving and the unmoving, doer of manifold sports, homage be to you! Many times over have we been rescued by you in the form of a boy. And Mahiman — the four went reverently to the battle; along with Prākāmya they fought, striking with many weapons. Burning the Daitya army, she advanced, and she fell. At the sight of her the Daityas fell, and some of them lost their lives.

That lord of Daityas, now half a body, making his face terrifying, charged with force, as if swallowing the three worlds. The mother then grieved, placing that head of his on her breast; distraught, she wailed bitterly, like a cow whose calf is dead. "Even now protect us from this Devāntaka, O Lord!" Ka said: Thus entreated by that king of Kāśī, the boy — Countless gods were slain, fallen like broken trees; there were thousands of rivers flowing with the water that is blood. But others reflected: "Where are we to go today, where will there be safety?" Some said: "Run, run, Devāntaka! We are dead!"

In the same way his two feet came into being again by magic. Near Vināyaka the Daitya king approached and spoke. Śāradā said: With his body pervaded by heroic splendour, eager for battle alone, making his body vast, mounted on a lion, bow in hand, joined by Siddhi and Buddhi, roaring, making the mountain caves resound. And Īśitā and Vaśitva and Vibhūti then went; they rendered aid to Prākāmya then in the fight. Hearing this uproar, Devāntaka went forth; swiftly stringing his bow, (he took) arrows like venomous snakes.

Then Īśitā and Vaśitva and Vibhūti went and gave help to Prākāmya in the fight. Hearing such an uproar, Devāntaka went forth, quickly stringing his bow and (taking) arrows like venomous snakes.

"The prowess you showed me by splitting my body — I shall cut off your limbs too; behold my prowess likewise." — "You said nothing at all to me; now utter a word." — Blotting out the sun with his brilliance, vomiting sparks of fire from his mouth, he held in his hand arrow, sword, axe and bow. Four mountains were hurled by them (the women) upon the four; and by those all of them were crushed and went to heaven, so hard to win. He loosed (arrows) upon her limbs, displaying the nimbleness of his hand, covering the sun and their heads with such nets of arrows.

Hearing his words again, Vināyaka roared, and again loosed a terrible rain of arrows upon the bull among demons. — "Where has your former body gone? You have come with your head alone. How have you come by yourself? Where is that great army of yours?" — Vināyaka went out of the city by the path of the sky, making the minds of the demons tremble with his hissing. But Aṇimā, seizing Kardama's topknot by force in the battle, suddenly split (him) on the ground, and he broke apart in a hundred pieces. She, stretching wide her huge mouth, swallows the arrows like lotus-stalks; then all that demon's quivers became empty.

Fire-tipped, gold-feathered, roaring, terrible — drawing the string back to his ear, he released it at the demon's head. — "How has he come to fade, like the sun that has followed its setting? What wrong has been done by me, or by your loving father?" — Seeing the manifold army, the lord of obstacles said to Siddhi: "This cannot be accomplished by one alone; let an army of many kinds be made." They brought down Yakṣmāsura, Tālajaṅgha and Dīrghadanta; then Ghaṇṭāsura, and Raktakeśa, the demon hard to conquer. She devoured those demons, struck some down with her hand, flung some into her throat and ground others to powder.

He went with the speed of the wind, as though splitting the mountains, sweeping away flocks of birds, felling masses of trees. — "Why do you say nothing?" — weeping and wiping away our tears — "O you who are intent on sleep on a couch furnished with priceless coverings, speak this word quickly, to subdue the demon as your own." Kaḥ said: Then Siddhi, having bowed to the lotus feet of the Supreme Self — all the armies came on, breathing hard, of great strength; and seeing the force struck down by them, Vaśitā, Siddhi and Buddhi (acted). Countless crores of demons were devoured, ground to powder, slain; crushing some with blows of her feet, she went against Devāntaka.

Hearing her cry, the armies fled to the ten directions; he fell upon the demon's neck like a thunderbolt on a mountain crest. — "Where do you now lie asleep? My mind is sorely pained. Bereft of you, we two are not fit to show our face, son." — She went to fight Devāntaka and roared, striking fear with her cries into all creatures and into the demons. Then they struck her hard on the forehead with blows of their fists; and they too fell to the ground, ground into a hundred pieces. Then she said to him: "Enter the cavern of my womb, where those demons lie as though they had gone into a mother's womb."

By that blow his head too flew up to the sky like a bird; shrieking, it fell fearsomely in his father's house. Kaḥ said: Hearing Śāradā's grief, Raudraketu grieved indeed: "Where have you gone, beloved son, without telling what had happened?" Śeṣa trembled, and the sky too, and the mountains and the masses of trees, at the great roars of that roaring, echoing again and again. Then all those (women) roared, having won victory by their own power; "Vināyaka is victorious!" — thus they all said. "Those who were devoured and died have been digested in my belly." In terror of that he fell at once, overcome by the stench of urine and dung.

Again another head of his appeared, as if uncut, like the former one. Then the demon in anger uttered a loud hiss. — "Every day you would let me hear all that had happened and all that was to come; now, in your own place, why do you not speak?" — And she called to mind the eight siddhis, and they came, filled with joy. Aṇimā arrived first, Garimā next. Other, lesser demons too were destroyed by them. Again all those lions among demons destroyed the army of the siddhis. Wherever he vanished, there too she went; he roamed the heavens, the netherworlds, the ten directions.

The gods were afraid, and the flocks of birds and all the throngs of people. Again he made a terrible rain (of arrows) upon that Vināyaka. — "If you, fighting face to face, went to heaven purified by the torrent (of weapons), how have you departed without asking me, abandoning me?" — Mahimā and Laghimā too arrived thereafter, and Prāpti and Prākāmya and Vaśitva came. There was a great uproar in both armies: "Strike! Kill! Bind! Be on guard!" Then, treading upon and seizing his topknot, she flung him into her womb. Then Buddhi, together with her, came up to Vināyaka.

With a rain of arrows he cut all of it through in the middle, with dexterity. Day and night the battle went on, strange, made of mountains and arrows. — "How have you made yourself both son and enemy to your parents, when you take your own sword into your hand from a servant's hand?" — Then Īśitva was won; then their army came after, complete with elephants, horses, chariots and infantry, resplendent with weapons of many kinds. Then a fire arose, born from the mass of weapons; when the weapons were broken the heroes, filled with rage, fought hand to hand. He bowed, putting her in front — her eyes rolling with intoxication, felling trees on both sides with the blows of her breasts.

Even the god grew weary, and so did that demon of great strength; he fell into great anxiety and blazed with his energy. Then the earth with its mountains and forests, and heaven too, shook. "By whom was he brought down upon the earth? I do not understand the turning of time." As in the rainy season the rivers go to the ocean from every side, so the army, eager for battle, went to the ten directions. Again the battle was without order, destroying one another; it grew tumultuous, and then the sun went to its setting. And the stream of arrows, pouring like a cloud, moving slowly — seeing it terrible, the god Vināyaka warded it off.

Then he took up the axe, wreathed about with garlands of flame; the mighty one hefted it, and then the earth shook. Fate indeed is strong in the world, but manly effort is of no avail. Where has the ornament of my lineage and of the world gone? — With the din of countless instruments, resounding loudly with heroes' shouts, heroes like Death, eager to devour the globe of earth — the directions were covered all around with great darkness; then, taking divine herbs, they struck one another. When she was repelled, the demon fell to the ground out of her womb; and he, being foul-smelling, was made to be cast outside by the attendants.

He released (it) at the demon lord and swiftly took off his head; and again another appeared, with lovely head, crown and earrings — a sun of majesty, O king, a fire burning up cotton. Kaḥ said: Thus Raudraketu and Śāradā (uttered) grief of many kinds. "Whence has such an army come forth so suddenly? The wondrous power we have seen was produced by the boy's magic." Shields were the tortoises, swords the fishes, adorned with lotuses that were heads; elephants were the crocodiles, corpses the logs, gleaming with moss that was hair. Announced by Buddhi, she bowed to that Vināyaka; seeing her, some laughed, some were afraid, some withered and some fell.

Again the angered Vināyaka struck that head down; and again another appeared for him when that one was cut off, again and again. Having done (so), taking the head, the two went to Devāntaka; rising in haste from the throne, those two, being of such sort — "I shall die or I shall kill; for one who lives there is no fame to be won." As the lord of demons spoke thus, his generals uttered words that struck fear into cowards and swelled the great joy of heroes. Then, the gods being ever victorious and strong, she swiftly swallowed that army; the demon host was devoured; and Devāntaka too was put into the anus and kept there out of fear.

Thus the lord cut off hundreds of thousands of heads; and again he pondered the cause of the demon's dying. Seeing (him), he embraced his neck and wept then for his younger brother; and those demons who formed his retinue, like Time and Yama, (said:) "We shall fight in the army; guard the rear; may there be victory." Drinking the nectar of their words, Devāntaka said with delight — Devāntaka fell to brooding and reasoned in his mind: "He by whom all the hosts of gods were conquered by his own power!" — "Now grant me a dwelling place, O god, treasury of compassion." The god said: "The demon has deceived (you) and gone to his own house, O destroyer of demons."

By his magic he suddenly bewildered that Narāntaka, grown proud and mightier through Śiva's granting of a boon. They wept aloud there, seeing Narāntaka's head. Taking the head from his mother's hand and laying it on his own breast: "Well said, great heroes; let them go to battle, and I go too. By the word of you of meritorious deeds, let victory be mine. What is this boy's magic there — commonplace, a deluder of ordinary folk? Now I shall destroy the eight siddhis and the whole army. Your prowess too I have recognised, greater than that of Indra and the rest. Enter my very mouth, and go there to your rest."

And then the demon knew neither another nor himself; in one moment night appears, in one moment day. He cried out like an osprey, grieving with love for his brother. Devāntaka said: "Together we ate, together we drank, played, slept, rose up." Receiving the blessing and bowing to Surāntaka, a demon named Kardama then went to the chariot-shaped formation. "Having seized the boy Vināyaka, I shall go to my own dwelling." Saying this, sword in hand, filling the directions with his noise: "I shall subdue him; you need not be anxious." Kaḥ said: Hearing these words of his and seeing the mouth, she entered it.

In one moment heaven appears, and earth, and the netherworld too; and waking, deep sleep, the fourth state, and dream. "Together we practised austerity, together we recited — where have you gone, leaving me, you at the mere sight of whom mortals and gods flee to the ten directions?" Dīrghadanta went to the wheel-formation, most hard to conquer; and the foremost of heroes, with Garimā, to the one arrayed to bewilder heroes. He came slaying the enemy armies everywhere with his sword; the gods, fainting with fear, fell to the surface of the earth. She slept, supremely content, as a child in its mother's lap, in the belly of the god of gods, wherein all worlds dwell.

"Whether one's own or a stranger, or father, or mother; whether a Vināyaka or a god, or a woman or a man, or a Guhyaka or a Siddha or a Yakṣa or a Rākṣasa — how was he slain, and by what mighty wicked one? The earth and the netherworld too are surrendered to you alone." Tālajaṅgha went gladly to the formation guarded by Prathimā; the one named Yakṣma came to the formation arrayed by Mahimā. Some, remembering the god Vināyaka, gave up their lives; some became coursing rivers of blood, and some of the gods went to heaven.

"Whether one's own or a stranger, or father, or mother, whether lifeless or alive" — thus in his confusion he thought. "Abandoning me, how have you gone to heaven, you who loved your brother, at hearing whose bowstring's twang the moving and the unmoving used to tremble?" The great Ghaṇṭāsura went to the formation constructed by Prāpti; Raktakeśa, endowed with strength, to the formation constructed by Prākāmya. Some, merely at the sight of the demon, gave up their own lives; then the army of the gods was broken and fell in the ten directions.

And he fell into the utmost anxiety and reflected in his mind: "Thus were boons granted to me by Śiva, the bearer of the trident. | Countless kings stood at his door in submission — how then did he abandon his parents and go after a beautiful woman? | Kālāntaka went against the array formed by Vaśitā; the mighty Durjaya advanced against the array formed by Īśitā. | That demon too, sword in hand, striking, smote it from behind; then Garimā, looking at that, (saw) a mountain thick with trees.

Death is born together with the body for all creatures; it will come to him today, or even in a hundred years — there is no doubt. | The soldiers cut off (their) heads with weapons of many kinds; and then the earth (was covered) with slain heroes, elephants and horses. | Then the sword swiftly vanished from the demon's hand; (he) forcibly hurled that sword at that demon's head.
