He said, “O king! do not strike Indra, there is reason on his part for offering you half of his seat
There is one demon named Lavanasura on earth, why have you not been able to kill him as yet?111.
“When you will come after killing him, you will then have the full seat of Indra, therefore now be seated on half the seat and accepting this truth, do not exhibit your anger.”112.
ASTAR STANZA
The king, taking up his weapons, reached there, where the demon lived in Mathura-Mandal
He was a great stupid and an egoist, he was a most powerful one and dreadfully outrageous.113.
Thundering like the clouds Mandhata fell upon (the demon) in the battlefield like lightning
MEDAK STANZA
When the demons heard this, they also confronted him and furioudly caused their horses to dance.114.
The king was determined to kill him and body of the enemies, grinding their teeth and challenging each other began to fight violently
The king did not stop the showering of arrows, as he waited to get the news of the death of Lavansaura.115.
Both of them had the same objective and did not want to leave the battle without killing the opponent
Both the warriors showered trees and stones etc. from both the sides.116.
Lavanasura held his trident in his hand in anger and chopped the head of Mandhata into two parts
The army of Mandhata ran away, being grouped together and got so much ashmed that it could not carry the head of the king.117.
The army, getting wounded, flew away like clouds and the blood flowed as if it was raining
Abandoning the dead king in the battlefield, the whole army of the king saved itself by fleeing away.118.
Those who returned, their heads cracked, their hair were loosened and being wounded, the blood flowed form their heads
In this way, Lavanasura won the battle on the strength of his trident and caused the warriors of many kinds to run away.119.
End of the killing of Mandhata.
Now begins the description of the rule of Dileep
TOTAK STANZA
When Mandhata was killed in the war, then Dileep became the king of Delhi
CHAUPI
He destroyed the demons in various ways and propagated religion at all places.120.
When taking the trident of Shiva, Lavanasura killed the superb king mandhata, then the king Dileep came to the throne
He had various types of royal luxuries.121.
This king was a great warrior any Sovereign
It seemed that he had been shaped in a mould of gold, like the form of the god of love, this king was so beautiful, that he appeared to be the Sovereign of Beauty.122.
He performed various types of Yajnas and executed hom and bestowed charities according to Vedic injunctions
His banner of the extension of Dharma fluttered here and there and seeing his glory, the abode of Indra felt shy.123.
He got planted the columns of Yajnas at short distances
And caused the granaries of corn to be built in every home, the hungry or naked, whosoever came, his desire was fulfilled Immediately.124.
Whosoever asked for anything, he obtained it and no beggar returned without the fulfillment of his wish
The banner of Dharma flew on every home and seeing this the abode of Dharamraja also became unconscious.125.
No one remained ignorant and all children and old people studied intelligently
There was the worship of the Lord in every home and the Lord was abored nad honoured everywhere.126.
Such was the rule of king Dileep, who himself was great warrior and a great archer
