Nārada said: When the duels had thus broken out in this fashion, many times over, then Hari, enraged, struck down Kālanemi with his mace. (extra verses:) Like a song for one who has no hearing, like a woman with restless eyes for one who has no sight, like a garland of flowers laid on others — so is the wealth of a miser: fruitless.

Casting off his swoon and gathering himself, he struck Viṣṇu with arrows; then by the enraged Hari he was felled to the ground, lifeless. (extra:) Great-souled ones do not lay hold of enemies even when they do harm: the rivers that run down from the mountains bring their very rivals to the sea.

O king, the moon, having taken thought, struck Rāhu with his sword; but Rāhu, letting him go, then ran at the sun. (extra:) A good man, devoted to others' welfare, does not change his nature even at the hour of his destruction: the sandal tree, though cut down, makes fragrant the axe's edge.

Having beaten the thousand-rayed one in the fight, Rāhu ran at the moon, and the lord of night struck him too with his sword in the battle. (extra:) The body may perish, but the splendour that has been offered up is not lost among the good: there still remains of the cool-rayed one that very digit which is on Śambhu's head.

Lifting up the moon and seizing him by the throat with force in the great battle, Rāhu swallowed him; but the moon was then vomited out again. (colophon:) Thus, in the Uttarakhaṇḍa, in the narrative of Jālandhara, the sixth chapter, called the Ascent of the Mighty Demon to Heaven.

Hearing that speech, (he said,) "Then, Indra, split me with weapons and take me" — thus spoke Bala; and (indeed) what is there that great souls will not give? They are the good, become the crest-jewel of the circle of the world, who show goodness toward those who have done them no favour; who, out of regard for their own purpose, have their bodies cut apart — even a wicked man who has formerly done harm may become devoted to (their) welfare. Having said "So be it," the thousand-eyed one struck Bala with his mace; but the body did not split then, and Śakra fell into worry.
