“No one will survive before Krishna, O king! we should run away.”2218.
When a crowd formed on the king, he turned to Shiva knowing his (assistant).
When the king found himself in calamitous state, he remembered Shiva and Shiva also felt that the king had come to fight with Krishna, the supporter of the saints
He taking his weapons in his hands went towards Krishna for fighting
Now I relate how he waged a dreadful war.2219.
Poet Shyam says, Rudra was angry when he took a terrible form and played the Naad.
When in extreme anger, Shiva blew his war-arena, then none of the warriors could stay there even for a very short time
The enemy (Banasur) and his other companions were frightened away by Balarama in anger.
The enemies from both sides became fearful, when Shiva began his fight with Krishna.2220.
Lord Krishna saved all of them from Shiva's attacks.
Krishna saved himself form the blows of Shiva and making Shiva as target, he wounded him
Both of them have fought many kinds of war which all the gods have come to see.
Both of them fought in different ways and the gods came there to see that war and ultimately, Krishna caused highly angry Shiva to fall down with the blow of his mace.2221.
CHAUPAI
When Rudra was injured by Sri Krishna
In this way, when Krishna wounded Shiva and knocked him down on the earth,
Who also became fearful and then he did not pull his bow
He recognised Krishna in his real form as the Lord (God).2222.
SORTHA
Seeing the strength of Sri Krishna, Shiva released his anger.
Seeing the power of Krishna, Shiva forsook his anger, and fell at the feet of Krishna.2223.
SWAYYA
Seeing this condition of Shiva, the king came himself for fighting
He discharged showers of arrows with all his one thousand arms
Krishna intercepted the coming arrows midway, making them passive
He took his bow in his hand and wounded the enemy very badly.2224.
Shri Krishna got angry and took the sarang bow in his hand
Getting infuriated and taking his bow and arrows in his hands, Krishna recognising the indestructible effulgence of Sahasrabahu, waged a terrible war with him
Poet Shyam says, by his bravery he killed many other strong men.
He killed many powerful warriors with his strength and chopped all the arms of the king except two and then released him.2225.
Speech of the poet:
SWAYYA
“O Sahasrabahu! no one had been in such a pitiable plight as you till today
Tell me, O king! why have you amassed so much wealth in your house?
O saints! Listen with interest, even after all this, the one who cheated with Shiva has been saved.
“Being in such a state, why one keeps the powerful Shiva as his protector?” Though he was surely bestowed with a boon by Shiva, but only that thing happens, which is agreeable to Lord-God.2226.
CHAUPAI
When his mother heard the news
That the king has lost and Sri Krishna has won.
After abandoning all the armor, she came naked
When the mother of king came to know that he has been defeated, and Krishna had been defeated, and Krishna had been victorious, then she stood naked before Krishna.2227.
Then Sri Krishna stood with his eyes lowered.
Then the Lord bowed down his eyes and decided in his mind not to fight any more
(At that time) the king got time to flee.
During this period the king got the time to run away and he fled away, leaving the war-arena.2228.
Speech of the king addressed to the warriors:
SWAYYA
Suffering from many wounds, the king said thus among the warriors
