The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
ततो ह्युपरतं युद्धं धर्मराजो यमः स्वयम् ॥ दूतानां चित्रगुप्तेन सख्यमेकमकारयत् ॥
tato hyuparataṃ yuddhaṃ dharmarājo yamaḥ svayam || dūtānāṃ citraguptena sakhyam ekam akārayat ||
फिर युद्ध पूरी तरह रुक गया। धरमराज यम खुद आए। उन्होंने चित्रगुप्त से बात की और दूतों के बारे में एक फैसला करवाया।
