Chapter 37: War by Demons with Demi-Gods
Sumbha and Nisumbha were annihalated by Goddess Durga Devi, Indra defeated Bali, Moon fought with Rahu, Brihaspati with Sukracharya, Lord Siva with Jambha, Sanaischara with Narakusura, Kartikeya with Taraka, Yamaraja with Kalanabha, Surya with hundred sons of Bali headed by Bana and so on. As Demon Kalanemi attacked Garuda, Lord Vishnu’s disc severed his head as also those of Mali, Sumali and Malyavan, as these Demons became too powerful in the battle. Demi-Gods Varuna, Vayu and Agni chased and killed thousands of Demons like roaring lions to flocks of deer. After the battle ended, substantial Demon population, especially of those who claimed invincibility, got dwindled to a large extent.But the display of valour, scheming and determination in Deva-Danava War was an unparalelled spectacle witnessed never before nor later.
