Yama fought a fierce duel with a demon named Grasana and Kubera fought with Jambha. Dead bodies littered the battlefield and rivers of blood began to flow. The sky was thick with spears, maces, axes, swords, tridents, clubs and arrows flying around. The trumpeting of elephants, the neighing of horses and the beating of drums made a terrible racket.Ībove all this there was the noise of weapons clanging and bows twanging.Ĭhariots fought with Chariots, elephants with elephants, horses with horses and foot-soldiers with foot-soldiers. The fire-god Agni rode on a goat and Varuna, the lord of the oceans, rode a snake.Īmongst the other gods who were in the army were Chandra, Surya and Kubera, the god of prosperity and wealth. Indra had his chariot, driven by his charioteer Matali. The gods also prepared themselves for the war, having first appointed Yama as their general.
