In the Harivamsha Purana, there was a fierce and skillful wrestling match between the two brothers on the battlefield. 8
Their hearts were filled with animosity, and the earth, like a woman, trembled in fear as they fought. 85
Bharata, the compassionate and strong-armed, lifted his brother with his powerful arms, like a god lifting a mountain of jewels. 86
The spectators, the gods, the celestial beings, and the earthly beings all exclaimed, "Oh, what strength! Oh, what courage! Well done! Well done!" 87
Having won the fight, Bharata, filled with anger, remembered the Sudarshana Chakra, the weapon of death, and it appeared in his hand, capable of holding a thousand arrows. 88
He whirled the chakra, guarded by a thousand Yakshas and shining like the sun, and hurled it at his brother to kill him. 89
But the divine chakra, unable to destroy the one with the perfect body, returned after circling three times. 90
Seeing his brother's cruelty, the strong-armed one covered his ears with his hands and condemned Lakshmi, saying, 91
"Just as mud pollutes pure, clear, and mixed water, so too does Lakshmi corrupt the pure, good, and united minds of men. Therefore, she is to be condemned." 92
"Just as a millstone, a mechanical device, destroys the long-lasting oil of sweet and smooth sesame seeds and is very unstable, so too does Lakshmi destroy the long-lasting love and affection of sweet and loving people and is very unstable. Therefore, she is to be condemned." 93
"Just as the venomous serpent's gaze is unbearable and frightening even to the king of physicians, so too is Lakshmi unbearable and frightening to even the kings of men. Therefore, she is to be condemned." 94
At that time, both brothers were striking each other with their arms, causing unbearable pain. But even in this battle, the elder brother Bharata was defeated. 83
After that, the two brothers engaged in a long wrestling match on the battlefield. Their wrestling match was filled with the sound of claps and was full of various tricks. 84
At that time, the earth, like a woman, cried out in fear, her heart shattered by the blows of the two warriors. 85
Finally, the compassionate and strong-armed one, with his powerful arms, lifted Bharata and stood there, like a god lifting a mountain of jewels. 86
The spectators, the groups of gods, the celestial beings, and the earthly beings all exclaimed at that time, "Oh, what strength! Oh, what courage! Well done! Well done!" 87
After winning the fight, the strong-armed one, filled with anger, remembered the Sudarshana Chakra, the weapon of death, and as soon as he remembered it, the Sudarshana Chakra, capable of holding a thousand arrows, appeared in his hand. 88
He whirled the Sudarshana Chakra, guarded by a thousand Yakshas and shining like the sun, and hurled it at his brother to kill him. 89
But the divine chakra, unable to destroy the one with the perfect body, returned after circling three times. 90
Seeing his brother's cruelty, the strong-armed one covered his ears with his hands and condemned Lakshmi, saying, 91
"Just as mud pollutes pure, clear, and mixed water, so too does Lakshmi corrupt the pure, good, and united minds of men. Therefore, she is to be condemned." 92
"Just as a millstone, a mechanical device, destroys the long-lasting oil of sweet and smooth sesame seeds and is very unstable, so too does Lakshmi destroy the long-lasting love and affection of sweet and loving people and is very unstable. Therefore, she is to be condemned." 93
"Just as the venomous serpent's gaze is unbearable and frightening even to the king of physicians, so too is Lakshmi unbearable and frightening to even the kings of men. Therefore, she is to be condemned." 94
