## Sixth Chapter
129. While the fierce battle raged between the Vidyadharas and Rakshasas, Kishkindha, having abducted the maiden, fled the battlefield. ||451||
Upon seeing the Vidyadhara king, Vijayasimha, approach, Andhrakabhu, with a mocking laugh, struck down his head with his sword. ||452||
Just as a body without a soul becomes a mere collection of senses, so too did the Vidyadhara army become scattered without Vijayasimha. ||453||
Hearing of his son's death, Asanivega was struck with grief, like a man struck by lightning. He was enveloped in the darkness of unconsciousness. ||454||
After a while, his chest soaked with the tears of his wives, Asanivega regained consciousness, his face contorted with rage. ||455||
His retinue could not bear to look upon his form, which resembled the blazing sun at the time of the apocalypse. ||456||
Surrounded by Vidyadharas, their weapons gleaming, he marched towards Kishkupura, like a towering mountain. ||457||
Knowing the city was besieged, the two brothers, Kishkindha and Sukeśa, accompanied by Taḍikeśi, marched out, eager for battle. ||458||
The Vanara and Rakshasa armies, armed with maces, javelins, arrows, nooses, spears, and swords, destroyed the Vidyadhara forces. ||459||
Wherever Andhrak, Kishkindha, or Sukeśa went, the path was littered with the corpses of slain Vanaras. ||460||
Fueled by the fire of his son's death, Asanivega, with a thunderous roar, charged towards Andhrak. ||461||
Seeing the young and wicked Andhrak, and the arrogant Asanivega, Kishkindha, the embodiment of thunder, rose to meet them. ||462||
Asanivega's son, Vidyudvahana, stood before him, and a fierce battle ensued. For it is said that all defeat in the world is caused by women. ||463||
While the terrible battle between Kishkindha and Vidyudvahana raged, Asanivega slew Andhrak. ||464||
