I will uproot this machine, which is strong due to its knowledge-power, and I will uproot its pride, just as a meditative person uproots delusion. (16)
Then, the wise Hanuman, focusing his mind on the battle, raised his own army, which roared like the ocean, in the sky. (17)
He then donned a knowledge-armor and, holding a mace, entered the puppet's mouth, just as the sun enters the mouth of Rahu. (18)
Then, with his sharp knowledge-nails, he tore open the puppet's belly, which was covered with bones, like a lion. (19)
And with merciless blows of his mace, he shattered it, making a terrible noise, just as a meditative person shatters the state of harmful actions with his pure thoughts. (20)
Then, the knowledge of the puppet, having been broken, made a terrifying sound, like the roar of dark clouds. (21)
Because of this, the puppet, which was extremely fickle, was destroyed, just as the accumulation of karmic impurities is destroyed by the praise of the Jina. (22)

Seeing Hanuman in front of him, the fierce warriors, equipped with various vehicles and weapons, prepared to fight. (25)
Seeing the powerful army of Vajramukha ready for battle, Hanuman's army, filled with extreme anxiety, also rose to fight. (26)
What more need be said? The battle began, just as it had before, with the insult of the king and the disrespect of the king. (27)

Seeing this, Hanuman thought, "Oh, the one who created this illusory fortress has abandoned his former kindness." (15)
