It appeared that the sound of the weapons and arms was the recitation of the Vedic mantras.1649.
Seeing the army of Duryodhana, the king showered his arrows

All the ganas of Rudra etc., who were there and all other gods who were there, they all together fell upon the king Kharag Singh
Seeing them all coming, this mighty warrior challenged all of them by pulling his bow
Some of them, who were wounded, fell down and some becoming fearful ran away
The warriors who fought fearlessly, were ultimately killed by the king.1654.
After gaining victory over Surya, Kuber, Garuda etc., the king wounded Ganesh and made him unconscious
Seeing Ganesh fallen on the ground, Varuna, Surya and Chandrama fled away
