With the extension of night, covered by a veil of covering of black darkness resembling the circumferance of the horn of a wild buffalo, glistening with eyes in the form of stars, throwing off as if mouthfuls of blood from the excess of blood of warriors drunk against one's desire, in the form of pouring forth of particles of fire of constant showers of fire-brands in the sky, and terrifying like a huge demon, all the people remained at their respective places.
At day-break, Triprişthao Kumāra informed his servants;“Ah! You go over the entire battle-field and make Inquires about warriors wounded with blows. Have their wounds carefully bandaged and take care of them with proper medicines. Make inquiries about kings knocked down by wicked horses," Having appointed some of his servants for the work, and accompanied by his harem and surrounded by all the kings, Tripriştha Kumāra returned towards Potanapura.
Tripristha Kumāra, with manifestation of might, then, entered the town of Potanapura,-decorated by citizens with thousands of flags and banners,-lovely with courtesans dancing on raised platforms at various places, - with the royal road abounding in heaps of fragrant flowers spread out there, and roaring with the loud sound of shouting of victory and charming drums. The rest of his retinue remained at appropriate places.
