## Chapter 62: The Rise of Aparajita and Anantavirya
**174**
**Uttara Purana of the Mahapurana**
Anantavirya, who conquered the sun with his might, was the most valiant among the valiant, and he was the best on earth. (511)
He, who always followed the power of the mantras, played like a lion, and with the flames of his blazing glory, he burnt down the forests of his enemies' lineage. He is the foremost among all the Narayanas. The enemy who provokes him is instantly consumed by the burning flames of Yama, and is seen to be enveloped in them. (512)
He, whose path is always guided by his elder brother, whose enemies' clouds have been destroyed, who has attained purity through the grace of time, and whose brilliance has filled the entire universe, resides in his city like the sun in autumn, with his fierce radiance. (513)
Thus ends the sixty-second chapter of the Trishattilakshana Mahapurana, composed by Bhagavadguna Bhadracharya, which narrates the rise of Aparajita and Anantavirya Narayana.
