In the Harivamsha Purana, the darkness of the mouth was dispelled by the radiance of the Kakani Mani. The army of Bharat stayed there, free from sloth, for a day and a night. ||20||
The house-holder Ratna, named Kamadrishti, and the architect Ratna, named Ratnabhadra-mukha, quickly built strong bridges over the rivers. ||28||
Crossing the bridges, the army of Bharat quickly moved forward, and, as before, opened the northern gate and entered North India. ||29||
Seeing the unparalleled army of the Chakravarti, thousands of Mlechchha kings of North India were enraged and quickly came forward to fight without hesitation. ||30||
Then, filled with anger, the Ayodhya commander fought the Mlechchha kings in battle, quickly defeated them, and made his name "Ayodhya" meaningful. ||31||
Frightened by the commander, the Mlechchhas sought refuge in their Kula-Devatas, the fierce Naga-Kumaras, who lay on beds of Darbha grass. ||32||
The Naga-Kumaras, who filled the sky, stood ready for battle, but Jayakumar fought them and defeated them, and thus obtained the name "Mesh-svara". ||33||
After a while, the Naga-Kumaras filled the sky with fierce clouds and rained down water on the heads of the army in torrents as thick as a fist. ||34||
Seeing the rain, which was accompanied by the thunderous roar of lightning and thunderbolts, the Chakravarti spread a skin-jewel below the army and a jewel-umbrella above. ||35||
The army, which stretched for twelve yojanas and floated on the water, looked like an egg. The army remained terrified for seven days. ||36||
Then, the lord of treasures, the Chakravarti, became angry and commanded the Ganabaddha Devas, who defeated and drove away the Naga-Kumaras. ||37||
Then, inspired by the Naga-Kumaras, who had restrained the rain, the Mlechchha kings, taking their best daughters, sought refuge in the Chakravarti. ||38||
The Chakravarti gave assurance to those frightened Mlechchha kings, who desired his protection, and then, free from fatigue, he traveled along the banks of the Sindhu river. ||39||
The Sindhu Devi, who resided on the peak of the Sindhu mountain, crowned him and gave him a seat of honor, adorned with a footstool. ||40||
