इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डमहापुराणे उत्तरभागे हयग्रीवागस्त्यसंवादे ललितोपाख्याने विषङ्गपलायनं नाम पञ्चविंशो ऽध्याय प्रथमयुद्धदिवसः / दशाक्षौहिणिकायुक्तः कुटिलाक्षो ऽपि वीर्यवान् / दण्डनाथाशरैस्तीक्ष्णै रणे भग्नः पलायितः / दशाक्षौहिणिकं सैन्यं तया रात्रौ विनाशितम्
iti śrībrahmāṇḍamahāpurāṇe uttarabhāge hayagrīvāgastyasaṃvāde lalitopākhyāne viṣaṅgapalāyanaṃ nāma pañcaviṃśo 'dhyāya prathamayuddhadivasaḥ / daśākṣauhiṇikāyuktaḥ kuṭilākṣo 'pi vīryavān / daṇḍanāthāśaraistīkṣṇai raṇe bhagnaḥ palāyitaḥ / daśākṣauhiṇikaṃ sainyaṃ tayā rātrau vināśitam
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the latter section, in the dialogue of Hayagrīva and Agastya, within the Lalitā narrative, is the twenty-fifth chapter called “The Flight of Viṣaṅga,” the first day of battle. Kuṭilākṣa, though mighty and furnished with an army of ten akṣauhiṇīs, was broken in war by the sharp arrows of Daṇḍanātha and fled. That night, she destroyed that army of ten akṣauhiṇīs.
