He hit the peak with his spear and the peak fell down. Ten thousand billions (daśapadma) of heroic demons came there to attack him but were killed on being hit with the spear. There was great hue and cry. The Earth, the mountains and the three worlds quaked. Indra the lord of gods came there. [...]”.
