Upon witnessing the dreadful army before them, King Abhinandana explained to the king the cause of their defeat, recounting the events as they had unfolded. Hearing these words, Kutuka comforted the king and bewildered the enemy army, rendering them insensible, as if turned to stone. Meanwhile, Kesariṇī, through her enchanting dance, bound eight mighty warriors. Bāhlīka, calm and steadfast, secured them further with strong shackles. By the boon of the goddess, Devasiṃha, though overcome by fear, was spared from harm. Svarṇavatī, the goddess endowed with all forms of knowledge, perceived and understood this act. Elsewhere, Makaranda and his wife were seen residing peacefully in their home. At that moment, Kṛṣṇāṃśa, troubled, spoke to Makaranda, reminding him that the destruction of a family is a great sin, as declared by the wise of ancient times. Hearing this, Makaranda’s brother-in-law, accompanied by a host of heroic companions, quickly mounted his horse with Kṛṣṇāṃśa and rode to Bāhlīka. At that time, Svarṇavatī, the goddess, was accompanied by Puṣpavatī. Together, they cut through the magic of Śāṃbarī and awakened their own soldiers. Observing those who had allied with the enemy, Kutuka, along with Svarṇavatī, approached. Having destroyed all the sorcery, Svarṇavatī bound two figures who resembled demons. Remarkably, he was not burned by fire, nor did he turn to ashes. Then, the goddess Puṣpavatī, enraged, slew the lioness. After slaying Kutuka, she herself became golden in form. The goddess, radiant and beautiful, returned again with her companion. All those present, bewildered by the goddess’s power, were astonished and lost awareness. Once more, battle erupted between the two armies upon the field. Parānanda, the god Upanandana, and Tāraka joined the fray. Prananda fought fiercely with Vīrasena, while the king engaged Brahmānanda; their tumultuous battle raged on, lasting day and night. Meanwhile, as night fell, Citrarēkhā arrived. Meditating upon Citragupta, she performed a wondrous illusion. Witnessing this marvel, all were seized by fear and fled in astonishment. Traveling five yojanas, they settled and made their dwelling there. O Kṛṣṇāṃśa, mighty-armed protector of those who seek refuge! The bewildered heroes approached him, saying, “We have come to your refuge.” An uproar broke out among the mighty warriors, who began to weep. Hearing their plight, Āhlāda himself was struck as if by a thunderbolt. At that moment, the yogi Kṛṣṇāṃśa, a portion of the Blessed Lord, appeared. Śūra, accompanied by ten thousand Makara warriors, was also present. Having conquered all the assembled kings, he seized vast wealth. By the sound of his triumph, the powerful one made the remaining warriors aware and placed the portion of Krishna, in the form of a yogi, upon his own lap. Overflowing with love, he bathed Krishna’s portion with streams of sacred water. The portion of Krishna, his mind serene, recounted his entire story. With skillful artistry, he created a wondrous image and arranged the marriage of Jayanta with her, using a painted line. The king of Bahlika, pleased in mind, bestowed abundant wealth. There, he gave a hundred elephants and horses, and thousands endowed with riches. Finally, he arranged for the departure of the great-souled Balakhana.
