Now begins the description of fighting with the demon Bakatra
SWAYYA
On that side Duryodhana went away and on this side a demon thinking this became angry that Krishna had killed his friend Shishupal fearlessly
He thought that he could kill Krishna after obtaining a boon from Shiva and thinking about it, he started for Kedar.2365.
He went to Badri-Kedarnath, where he, through great austerities, pleased the great Shiva and when he obtained the boon of killing Krishna, he mounted the air-vehicle and went
On coming to Dwarka, he began the fighting with the son of Krishna
When Krishna heared this, he bade farewell to king Yudhishtar and went there.2366.
When Krishna reached Dwarka, he saw the enemy and challenging him asked him to come forward for fighting with him
Listening to the words of Krishna, he pulled his bow upto his ear and struck the blow with this arrow like putting ghee for extinguishing the fire.2367.
When the enemy was discharging his arrow, Krishna caused his chariot to be driven towards him
From that side, the enemy was coming and from this side he went to collide with him
With the strength of his chariot, he caused his chariot to fall down like a falcon knocking down the partridge with one blow.2368.
He cut down the chariot of his enemy with his dagger and then severing his neck knocked it down
He also despatched his army that was there to the abode of Yama
Krishna stood in the battlefield filled with ire and in this way, his fame spread in all the fourteen worlds.2369.
