Ce daitya, combattant merveilleux aux coups de poing écrasants, s’en prit ensuite à Viṣṇu lui aussi, lançant d’innombrables flèches, flamboyantes comme des langues de feu, implacables dans leur choc.
Narrator (deduced: Lomaharṣaṇa/Sūta)
Scene: A powerful daitya—expert in varied warfare and heavy fist-strikes—turns his fury upon Viṣṇu, launching innumerable arrows that blaze like tongues of fire, each strike unyielding.
