The Mahapurana, Uttara Purana, is served by all the Tejasvis (radiant ones) and is a great elevation that cannot be surpassed. It is beautiful like Sumeru, adorned with great jewels. ||6||
Balabhadra and Narayana, the embodiments of white and black brilliance, were the initiators of all worldly affairs. They were like the two fortnights, shining together. ||68||
Their bodies were fifty dhanus (a unit of measurement) tall, their lifespan was thirty lakhs years, and they enjoyed equal happiness. They lived for a long time, enjoying equal happiness. ||69||
Then, after many births, the fierce ruler of the past, Chandashasana, became Chand, like the fierce sun, punishing the armies of his enemies. ||70||
In Kashi, the king of the city of Varanasi, Madhusudana, was known for his strength and valor. ||71||
Hearing of their glory, the intolerant Madhusudana sent a message to Narada, saying, "Send me elephants, jewels, and other gifts." ||72||
Hearing this, the ocean of Purushottama's mind was agitated like the wind at the end of a Yuga. He became as terrible as Yama, the god of death, and was filled with anger. ||73||
Balabhadra, the radiant one, spread the brilliance of his eyes in all directions, like a blazing fire of anger. ||74||
He said, "I don't know what a 'kar' is. Is it a hand? What is it used for? I will give him a hand with a shining sword. Let him accept it with his head." ||75||
"Let him come and take it. What harm is there?" Thus, the two brothers, radiating brilliance, replied to Narada in harsh words. ||76||
Hearing this, Madhusudana became enraged and went to kill them. The two brothers, filled with anger, also went to kill him. ||77||
The two armies clashed, as if to destroy everything. The enemy, Madhusudana, hurled his discus at Purushottama, but it could not harm him. Finally, Purushottama used the same discus to kill Madhusudana.
