भण्डासुरस्य मन्त्रणा
Bhaṇḍāsura’s War-Counsel against Lalitā
इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डमहापुराणे उत्तरभागे हयग्रीवागस्त्यसंवादे ललितोपाख्याने बलाहकादिसप्तसेनापतिवधो नाम चतुर्विंशो ऽध्यायः ततः श्रुत्वा वधं तेषां तपोबलवतामपि / न्यश्वसत्कृष्णसर्पेन्द्र इव भण्डो महासुरः
iti śrībrahmāṇḍamahāpurāṇe uttarabhāge hayagrīvāgastyasaṃvāde lalitopākhyāne balāhakādisaptasenāpativadho nāma caturviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ tataḥ śrutvā vadhaṃ teṣāṃ tapobalavatāmapi / nyaśvasatkṛṣṇasarpendra iva bhaṇḍo mahāsuraḥ
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the latter section, in the dialogue of Hayagrīva and Agastya, within the Lalitā narrative, is the twenty-fourth chapter, called “The Slaying of the Seven Commanders beginning with Balāhaka.” Hearing of their death—even of those mighty in ascetic power—Bhaṇḍa, the great Asura, breathed hard like the lord of black serpents.
