In the Padma Purana, a terrible battle erupted between the gods and demons, a sight of cruelty and horror. Horses fell upon horses, chariots crushed chariots, elephants trampled elephants, and foot soldiers destroyed foot soldiers. The sky was covered with weapons: spears, maces, discs, swords, muskets, maces, arrows, clubs, gold, and nooses. The gods, led by the valiant Vidyaadharas, formed an army filled with great enthusiasm, skilled in advancing, generous, and capable of disrupting the enemy's efforts. The gods' army, led by Vidyuutvaan, Charudaan, Chandra, Nityagati, and Chalajyoti Prabhaadhya, devastated the demon army. Then, the valiant Rishyaraj and Suryaraj, leaders of the monkey clan, prepared to fight, seeing the demons being destroyed. These two heroes possessed such speed that they appeared in different places every moment. They struck the gods so hard that they turned their backs. The demons, emboldened by the strength of these two, prepared to fight, filling the sky with darkness with their weapons. Seeing the god's army being destroyed by the demons and monkey clan, Indra, filled with rage, rose to fight himself. Then, the monkey and demon clouds, raining weapons and roaring loudly, surrounded the mountain-like Indra. Protecting the guardians of the world, Indra roared loudly and began to destroy the monkeys and demons with arrows shot from all sides. Seeing his army in disarray, Mali rose himself, his anger-born radiance illuminating the entire sky. Then, a fierce battle ensued between Mali and Indra, watched with awe by both armies, whose minds were filled with wonder. Then, Indra shot an arrow, pulled back to the ear and marked with his name, into Mali's forehead. Mali, suppressing the pain, struck Indra on the forehead with a swiftly released weapon.
