With a mighty arrow named Bhairava, the king struck his enemy's body, setting the tone for a fierce conflict. In response, the army of Māhiṣmatī surged forth, advancing in all ten directions. Amidst the chaos, the king loosed another arrow, severing the enemy’s head from his body. Thus, Kāliya was vanquished and their adversaries repelled. Having bewildered all who stood against him, the king returned triumphantly to his own camp. King Parimala witnessed the defeat of his enemies, and news of these events reached Jayacandra, who was filled with great astonishment. In the fifth month, Bhīṣmasiṃha left this world. Around this time, a daughter named Madālasa was born to the king of Gurjara. Upon hearing of her birth, the king celebrated by distributing abundant wealth. Born on earth from the noble lineage of Sahadeva, this was by the command of Lord Shiva. Elsewhere, King Dalavāhana journeyed to the land of the cowherds. During the thousand Candī sacrifices, a great assembly of kings gathered. Previously, two royal maidens had formed a daily bond. Devakī was given in marriage to the king of that land, and Brāhmī to his younger brother. Along with them, a courtesan skilled in singing and dancing—whose income was a hundred thousand—was bestowed. Gifts of a hundred elephants, five chariots, and a thousand horses were given, as well as a wealthy maiden accompanied by many male and female servants. Malana, upon seeing the bride, presented her with a splendid necklace, which the delighted king then gave to the heroic king of the land. Those two mighty heroes, thus honored by the king, remained there, their strength renowned. Among them was a fair-complexioned, lotus-eyed one, radiant with his own brilliance. He sounded the conch loudly and repeatedly proclaimed cries of victory. Many Brahmins, devoted to the Vedas and scriptures, arrived. Recognizing the child as a portion of Rama, with a pleasant and auspicious face, they declared his birth as illustrious as the Kṛttikā stars, bringing fame to his paternal line. At the end of the month, Brāhmī gave birth to a son. All the Brahmins, beholding the child’s auspicious countenance, named him Balakhānin, the mighty one. Cāmuṇḍa, son of Devakī, though a terror to his own lineage, did not abandon the boy, for he was full of compassion, even though the child was still young. When three years had passed for the virtuous Balakhānin, King Vatsarāja set out for the land of Gurjara, taking his daughter Madālasā with him and arriving there that very day. Upon his arrival, Jambuka, surrounded by his forces, besieged the entire city of King Parimala. A great battle ensued, joined by seven hundred thousand Māhiṣmatas. By the boon of Shiva, defeat befell the brothers. In the course of the conflict, the courtesan Lakṣārati and her elephant were slain. The city was seized, reduced to ashes, and Jambuka returned home, having taken the jewels from the fortresses and departing joyfully. Amidst these momentous events, the goddess beloved of the gods placed the seventh portion of Kṛṣṇa within her womb, heralding the advent of a divine incarnation.
