PUNHA
Then there appeared Mahishasura and whatever he did is as follows:
With his armed strength, he conquered the whole world.
He challenged all the gods in the battlefield.
And with his weapons he chopped them all.13.
SWAYYA
The demons-king Mahishasura waged the war and killed all the forces of gods.
He cut the mighty warriors into halves and threw them in the field, he waged such a terrible and fierce war.
Seeing him besmeared with the blood, it seems thus in the mind of the poet:
As if killing the Kashatriyas, Parshuram has bathed himself in their blood.14.
With his arms and weapons, Mahishasura sawed and threw the warriors as in a saw.
The corpse fell of the corpse and the big horses have fallen in flocks like mountains.
The black elephants have fallen in the field alongwith white fat and red blood.
They all are lying dead as if the tailor, cutting the clothes makes their heaps.15.
Indra taking all gods with him, invaded the forces of the enemy.
Covering the face with shield and holding the sword in hand, they attacked with loud shouts.
The demons are dyed with blood and it seems to the poet
As if Rama after conquering the war is bestowing (the redcoloured) robes of honour to all bears.16.
Many wounded warriors are rolling in the battlefield and many of them are writhing and crying on the ground.
The trunks are also twirling there, seeing which the cowards are frightened.
Mahishasura waged such a war that the jackals and vultures are highly pleased.
And the heroes, being intoxicated, are lying prostrate in the stream of blood.17.
Seeing the fighting in the war of the demon Mahishasura, the sun is not moving on its orbit.
Brahma has also forgotten his texts on beholding the stream of blood.
Seeing the flesh, the vultures are seated in such a way, as if the children are learning their lessons in school.
The jackals are pulling the corpses in the field in such a way as if the Yogis, sitting on the banks of Sarswati are mending their patched quilts.18.
