Pushkarākṣa’s Battle with Rāma Jāmadagnya (Bhārgava) — Astras and the Fall of a Prince
इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डे महापुराणे वायुप्रोक्ते मध्यभागे तृतीय उपोद्धातपादे भार्गवचरिते एकोनचत्वारिंशत्तमो ऽध्यायः // ३९// वसिष्ठ उवाच सुचन्द्रे पतिते राजन् राजेन्द्राणां शिरोमणौ / तत्पुत्रः पुष्कराक्षस्तु रामं योद्धुमथागतः
iti śrībrahmāṇḍe mahāpurāṇe vāyuprokte madhyabhāge tṛtīya upoddhātapāde bhārgavacarite ekonacatvāriṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ // 39// vasiṣṭha uvāca sucandre patite rājan rājendrāṇāṃ śiromaṇau / tatputraḥ puṣkarākṣastu rāmaṃ yoddhumathāgataḥ
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the middle section spoken by Vāyu, in the third Upoddhāta-pāda of the Bhārgava narrative, the thirty-ninth chapter concludes. Vasiṣṭha said: “O King, when Sucandra—crest-jewel of royal lords—had fallen, his son Puṣkarākṣa then came to fight Rāma.”
