In the Mahapurana, Uttara Purana, Kumuda, renowned for his warfare, Indravarma by name, Khar, Dushana, and Nila, skilled in illusion, fought. 621 || Similarly, other valiant servants of Rama fought with the leaders of Dasasyas in a battle of illusions. 622 || Then, seeing Dasanana defeated in battle by Rama, Indrajit entered the fray to protect his life. 623 || Seeing him, Rama struck him down with his Shakti. Observing this, the king of birds, enraged, charged towards Lakshmana's elder brother, armed. 624 || In the midst of this, Lakshmana swiftly intervened, and Dasakantha, mounted on an illusory elephant, enveloped him in a barrage of arrows. 625 || "Even with the Mahavarana, the valiant one with the Garuda flag, like a lion cub, was fearless in the face of enemy forces. 626 || Breaking through that cage of arrows with his own skill, Ravana, seeing this, enraged, ordered his trusted Chakra to be brought. 627 || At that time, Narada and others roared like lions in the sky. The Chakra, like a personified embodiment of valor, circled around Lakshmana and settled on his right arm. 628 || With that Chakra, Lakshmana, the wielder of the Chakra, severed the head of the king of birds, as if into three pieces. 629 || He, due to his past misdeeds, had already been bound to hell. Thus, he received the terrible fate of hell, what else could be the fate of the wicked? 630 || Completing the victory, Keshava declared safety for all enemies. That is the Dharma of victorious kings. 631 || Then, the remaining ministers of Paulastya, like bees, soiled, took refuge at the feet of the Chakra-wielding Lord. 632 || To alleviate the sorrow of Mandodari and other goddesses, Rama and Lakshmana made Vibhishana the king of Lanka and bestowed upon him all the wealth that had come down from the lineage of Dasakantha. Thus, the two brothers, Balabhadra and Narayana, became the powerful masters of the three worlds. 633-634 ||
