## Adipurana
**139.** With radiant fruits, well-established, well-conceived, and victorious, pervading the universe, arising from opposition.
**140.** Just as a debater, desiring swift fame, conquers with superior arguments, so too, a warrior, desiring victory, repels the opposing force with weapons and scriptures.
**141.** The birds, soaring through the sky, attacked the other birds, and did not return until they fell, struck by fear.
**142.** With extremely sharp vision, fierce, and blazing on all sides, the arrows, released from the sky, fell like thunderbolts on the heads of the warriors.
**143.** The warriors, covered in a shower of arrows, shrouded in darkness by the wings of vultures, were struck from the sky, unable to see the blows of the maces.
**144.** In this age, those sharp arrows first brought about untimely death. It is fitting, for what evil deeds are not done by those who have diminished the brilliance of the sun?
**145.** Not to go far, but to strike with force, the celestial beings, drawing their arrows to their ears, killed many elephants and other creatures.
**146.** Just as sinners, drinking blood and eating flesh, turn their faces downwards and go to hell, so too, the celestial beings, struck by the arrows, fell to the earth, their faces downwards.
