Then, getting enraged, the demon Bakatra reached there where Krishna was standing.2370.
SWAYYA
He challenged Krishna again in the war-arena and said, “The way in which you have killed the brave Shishupal, I shall not die like that
Hearing this, Krishna held his arrow in his hand and made the enemy unconscious and knocked him down on the earth.2371.
When the demon Bakatra regained consciousness, he disappeared and then, filled with anger, under the impact of maya, he cut the head of Krishna’s father and showed it to him
Krishna was extremely infuriated and the tears flowed out of his eyes
Now he took his discus in his hand and cutting the head of the enemy made it fall on the ground.2372.
End of the chapter entitled “Killing of the demon Bakatra.”
Now beings the description of the killing of the demon Vidurath
Speech of the poet:
SWAYYA
Those who have remembered in their mind the creator of Brahma, Shiva etc. that Lord, the ocean of mercy appeared before them immediately
He, who has no form, no colour and no dimension and whose mystery has been uttered by all the four Vedas
The same manifesting himself, is busy in killing in the battlefield.2373.
DOHRA
When Krishna, in his ire, killed two enemies in the fighting and the third one who survived, he also came in the battlefield.2374.
Cutting both his lips with his teeth and dancing both his eyes, Balram said this to him,2375
SWAYYA
“O fool! He, who killed the demons Madhu and Kaitabh
He, who finished Ravana, Hirannyakashipu,
He killed Kansa, Jarasandh and the kings of various countries, why are you fighting with Him?
You are nothing, He was despatched very great enemies to the abode of Yama.2376.
Then Krishna said this to him, “I killed Bakasura and Aghasura
I knocked down Kansa by catching him from his hair
“I destroyed Jarasandh alongwith his twenty-three extralarge military units
Now you may tell me, whom do you think stronger than me?”2377.
Then he replied, “You are frightening me by saying this that you have killed in an instant Kansa, Bakasura and Jarasandh, the armies of Jarasandh etc.
“You are asking me that who is more powerful than yourself? This is not the tradition of warriors
And O Krishna! are you a Kshatriya or a grain-parcher?2378.
“I shall burn your anger like the blade of grass in the fire of my rage
Whatever blood is in you body, I shall destroy it my boiling like water
“When I shall place the vessel of my power on the fire of my rage, then the flesh of your limbs will be cooked nicely without any care.”2379.
In this way, disputing, both engaged themselves in dreadful fighting in the battlefield
The dust arose with the discharge of arrow, which covered all the chariots etc. in order to see the pageant of war.
Surya and Chandra and other gods reached singing songs of praise
The enemy ultimately could not gain victory over Krishna and reached the abode of Yama.2380.
In that dreadful fighting, Krishna killed the enemy
The body of the demon Vidurath god deformed and fell down on the earth
Seeing his body smeared with blood, Krishna, filled with mercy and apathy, abandoning his bow and arrows said, “Now from today, I shall nor fight.”2381.
