Sūta said: Thanks to his yogic power, innumerable and divine bodies with conch, discus and iron clubs in their hands were born of Viṣṇu. They were equal to him in lustre. Lord Vīrabhadra killed all of them by means of his iron club and hit Viṣṇu on the head. Then he sportively hit him on the chest, he fell senseless on the ground. The lord got up again and lifted up his discus to kill him. He stood there gloriously with his eyes reddened with anger. Vīrabhadra of undistressed soul stunned his terrible discus that had the lustre of black sun and which he had kept in his hand. He did not move. He stood stunned thereby motionless like a mountain.
