Knowing the truth, Mahāmada devoted himself deeply to meditation upon Rudra. In the midst of this, fierce beasts—tigers, lions, boars, monkeys—began to attack men. Meanwhile, Svarṇavatī, the goddess Kāmākṣī, herself absorbed in meditation, summoned forth Garudas and mighty Śarabhas. As cries of terror echoed and the army scattered in all directions, Sahura was crushed along with the dancers, overwhelmed by delight. O best of sages, thus the battle raged for four months. This has all been related to you, O brahmin—what else would you wish to hear? The sage then inquired, “In what place and how did these events occur? Please tell me everything, out of kindness.” When spring arrived, celestial beings gathered to play in that place. Manjughosha, the queen of song, assembled at the abode of Shuka. After performing songs, dances, and melodies, she became overwhelmed with desire. Then the blessed Shuka composed a beautiful hymn of praise. Hearing those auspicious words, Manjughosha spoke gently. Having listened and acted accordingly, she united with him, and from their union a son named Muni was born. At that time, Muni was given as wife the daughter of Svarṇadeva. With her, his heart content, he enjoyed life, and from them was born an excellent son. That goddess, endowed with beauty and youth, practiced austerities. Then the blessed Shankara, benefactor of the world, was pleased. The sage addressed Shankara: “O god of gods, I bow to you.” Hearing this, Shiva spoke: “After thirty years on earth, all this will come to an end.” Upon hearing this, the sage who dwelt on Himatunga accepted the words. Thus, O brahmin, all has been told to you. Now listen again to an auspicious tale. The city of Netrapāla was adorned with metals of all kinds. Its king, Bauddhasiṃha, was mighty and commanded seven hundred thousand warriors. The battle between the armies lasted seven days and nights, terrifying all who witnessed it. Bauddhasiṃha struck down the enemy army, which he protected with great strength. All the Buddhists were masters of illusion, honored and worshipped by the people. By the command of Netrapāla, all the Kṛṣṇāṃśas and others assembled. Indula, fierce and riding a horse, and Maṇḍalīka, mounted on an elephant, were present. Tālana arrived, seated upon a lioness, and Lallasiṃha, powerful and descended from the Kuntibhoja line, was also there. Then Nettrasiṃha, surrounded by seven hundred thousand warriors, took his place. The Buddhists, seized by fear, abandoned the land in all directions. Afterward, they gathered at Hūhānada. There, one hundred thousand from the land of Śyāma and one hundred thousand reciters assembled. Kṛṣṇāṃśa, with a hundred thousand soldiers, and Deva, accompanied by another hundred thousand, were present. Maṇḍalīka, together with Indula, had an army of one hundred thousand. Jananāyaka also stood there, joined by an army of equal strength. In that place, a dreadful battle erupted between the Buddhists and the Āryakas. Seven hundred thousand Buddhists were slain, and two hundred thousand from the land of the Āryas fell in battle.
