The forty-fourth chapter. The eight Chandra Vidyadharas, who have made the moon their friend, are not like the moon in battle. They are marked with a flag like a comet, which indicates their ill-fate. Their speed is destroyed by the strong wind blowing against them. They are like arrows that strike the midday sun, causing wounds to the mind. Jay, who is like a blazing fire and whom the enemy cannot even see, came upon him with great pride, like a calf, driven by the cruel trade of elephant catchers, to its place of confinement. Jay, who is like a cloud, filled with a multitude of arrows, also came forward, making the sun-like glory of Arka Kirti devoid of light, and cutting through the arrows released by the enemy. His arrows ran ahead of him, like the rays of the sun at sunrise. Jay, who is difficult to conquer, cut through the umbrella, weapons, and flag of Arka Kirti, with the desire to destroy his arrogance. The eight Chandras, coming forward with their knowledge and strength, stopped the arrows of Jay, like clouds stopping the rays of the sun. Bhujabali and others, with their younger brothers, came forward to fight Hemaangad with great anger, like a group of lions attacking another group of lions. Anant Sen, with his younger brothers, also came forward to face the younger brothers of Jay, like a herd of elephants from Angaradesh attacking a herd of elephants from Kalingadesh. Other kings, filled with anger, attacked other kings, like Kulachala mountains moving against other Kulachala mountains. There is no power in these people to be defeated, for Jay is ready for battle, like a snake that has made a friend of its enemy.
