In the Padma Purana, Sri Mali, enraged after regaining consciousness, charged towards Jayanta, showering him with a storm of weapons. He appeared terrifying. ||23|| The two princes, shedding their weapons, shone brightly, like two lion cubs with their mane ablaze. ||239|| Then, the son of the king of the gods, Jayanta, struck the son of Malyavan, Sri Mali, with his mace, killing him instantly. He fell to the ground. ||240|| Blood gushing from his mouth, Sri Mali fell to the earth, resembling a setting sun. ||241|| After killing Sri Mali, Jayanta, mounted on his chariot, blew his conch shell in joy. The demons, terrified, fled in all directions. ||242|| Seeing Sri Mali lifeless and Jayanta, whose warriors were shouting in victory, ready for battle, Indrajit, the son of Ravana, came forward to face him. He reassured his fleeing army, his anger burning fiercely. ||243-244|| Then, like Kali in his wrath, Indrajit, with his arrows, shattered Jayanta's armor, just as he had shattered his armor, he shattered his body. ||245|| Seeing Jayanta, whose armor was broken, whose body was red with blood, and who was covered with arrows like a hedgehog, Indra himself rose to fight. He covered the sky with his vehicles and his shining, sharp weapons. ||246-247|| Seeing Indra ready for battle, his charioteer, Sanmati, said to Ravana, "O God! This is Indra, the lord of the gods, himself." ||248|| The Lokapalas, the guardians of the world, are protecting him from all sides. He is mounted on his intoxicated elephant, Airavata, adorned with the brilliance of his crown jewels. He is covered by a white umbrella, shielding the sun, and surrounded by an army like a raging ocean. ||249-250||
