The Mahapurana, those who are extremely terrifying, who act like servants, who are making noise due to their speed, and who have blocked all directions, those sharp arrows, whom shall we not destroy? Meaning, they are thinking of destroying everyone, as if they are falling upon the entire army. ||240|| Just as a lion attacks an elephant, in the same way, the extremely powerful Vidhyadhara named Meghaprabha, by the order of Jayakumar, attacked Sunami and stopped him in the sky with weapons. ||241|| Meghaprabha, with the help of Sunami, destroyed the Tamobaan, Agnibaan, Gajbaan, and Meghabaan, which were filled with Vidya, with the help of Surya baan, Jal baan, Singh baan, and Vayu baan, and many other Vidya-filled arrows, considering them insignificant. ||242|| Thus, in that battle, Meghaprabha, with the auspicious rise of Jayakumar, quickly defeated Sunami, the leader of the Vidhyadharas. This is right, because when one is favored by fate, there is no difference between smallness and greatness. Meaning, when one is favored by fate, even the small can win, and the great can lose. ||243|| The army of elephants, like a chain of clouds gathered at the beginning of the rainy season, stopped Jayakumar, who was on the side of Arkakirti. ||244|| On the other hand, the brave and noble Jayakumar, with his excellent elephant named Vijayardh, obtained by anger, moved towards the brave and arrogant Arkakirti and started speaking to him in this way. ||245|| He thought that all the paths of justice are well-run by the Chakravarti, but these wicked people have made you an enemy of those paths of justice. ||246|| O Kumar, although you are intelligent, being a follower of others, meaning acting according to what others say, is also your fault. Besides this, you are siding with sin or sinful people, this is also your third fault. ||247|| These sinful people have unnecessarily created this great anger in your heart, due to which the entire army of Bharat Maharaj is being destroyed at once. ||248||
