In the midst of a great battle, there was a single chariot and five hundred elephants, forming a formidable army. The warriors were arranged under the guidance of their commanders, whose ranks and duties were well defined. The leader of ten infantry units was known as the commander of foot soldiers, while the lord of elephants commanded five mighty beasts. Among the force, forty messengers rode camels, and thirty-six were foot soldiers, each with specific responsibilities: ten distributed balls, ten provided nourishment, and three acted as vigilant watchers for each watch. The remaining soldiers were Shudras, devoted to the tasks of warriors. The battle raged fiercely across the field, fought everywhere according to the principles of righteousness. As the conflict unfolded, the commanders engaged in combat within the span of a watch, standing at the forefront, ready for battle. Bhagadatta distinguished himself, performing excellently in the fight. Krishna, serene in mind, defeated Chamunda and the sons of Lahara, blew his conch, and attained the mark of victory. Chamunda, Dhundhukara, and Bhagadatta, along with hundreds of warriors, joined the fray. Indulo and Devasingha, accompanied by thousands, rejoiced in the heat of battle. When morning arrived, during the third terrifying watch, a warrior spoke, saying, “O king, you are protected by three heroes.” Then King Parimala addressed Netra Simha, the lord of the earth. A great battle ensued between the two armies, with chariots facing chariots and destructive machines clashing. In the afternoon, Netrasiṃha, mighty in strength, stood out. Both warriors, after dismounting and breaking their bows, killed each other and ascended to the heavenly realms. Indula struck Chamunda, and the god struck Dhuṃdhuka as well. With the remaining five hundred heroes, they advanced toward Lakṣaṇa. When morning came again, the mighty king of the earth, Bhavān, accompanied by his ten heroic sons and an army of one hundred thousand, gathered his musicians and came forth. Seeing Parimala arrive clad in magical armor, Bhavān, together with ten thousand warriors and the three heroes, quickly moved to the great battle between the two armies. In the ensuing fight, ten thousand were slain, protected by Kṛṣṇāṃśā and others. Meanwhile, the steadfast Kṛṣṇāṃśā and his companions, the third group, pressed on. Then the king of Aṅga struck with three arrows, hitting both the head and sides of his opponent. Mounting his horse, he entered a beautiful lotus pond and approached the king, who stood upon his chariot. At that moment, he declared, “My fame will quickly be established; after killing Bhavān, I will be happy.” When the king of Aṅga was slain, his ten sons, of the Kaurava line, entered the battle. There, the god killed both princes with a perfected arrow. As dusk descended, those radiant-faced warriors blew their conch shells and retired to their camps. Upon reaching the assembly, they bowed to the king and said, “Hear, O descendant of the lunar dynasty.” Having heard, King Virasena, together with Kamasena and his own forces, approached. Virasena bowed to the king and, with hundreds of thousands of his soldiers, entered the battle. He urged, “Go swiftly to battle, O distinguished king, accompanied by your sons and hundreds of thousands of your own soldiers.” After speaking, he bowed to the king and began to play sweetly. Within three watches, all were slain; mounting their celestial vehicles, they ascended to heaven. Thus, you and your army, and I with mine; you with your sons, and so also I myself, faced the trials of battle and its ultimate reward.
