## Seventh Chapter
The enraged Mali, whose body was reddened with blood, rushed towards Indra, just as the sun approaches the setting horizon. || 87 ||
As Mali approached, Indra severed his head with his chakra, which shone like the sun. || 88 ||
Seeing his brother slain, Sumali was deeply distressed. He pondered that Indra, the chakra-wielding king of the Vidyadharas, was immensely powerful, and it was impossible to stand against him. Thus, the wise and skillful Sumali, along with his entire family, fled the battlefield immediately. || 89-90 ||
As Indra was about to slay Sumali, Soma, devoted to his master, bowed and said, "My Lord, why do you exert yourself when a servant like me is present to kill the enemy? Please allow me to do it." || 91-92 ||
Indra replied, "So be it." Soma then followed the enemy, showering him with a volley of arrows, like a swarm of bees attacking their target. || 93 ||
The army of the monkey-demons, struck by the arrows, was thrown into disarray, like a herd of cows caught in a downpour. || 94 ||
"You are surrounded by fools and ignorant of the rules of war, you wicked one!" Mali, blazing with anger, turned to Soma and, with his weapon called Bhindimala, struck him deeply in the chest, rendering him unconscious. || 95-96 ||
While Soma lay unconscious, his eyes closed, the demons and monkeys vanished. || 97 ||
They returned to their abode, Alankarodayapur (Patal Lanka), safe from Soma's wrath, as if they had been reborn. || 98 ||
When Soma regained consciousness, he saw the battlefield empty of enemies. He was praised for his victory and returned to Indra. || 99 ||
Indra, pleased with his chakra-wielding warrior, praised Soma, who had vanquished his enemies. He was also honored by the Lokapalas. || 100 ||
