Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya said: A dreadful battle broke out between those two heroes—the monkey and the rākṣasa. Each fought intent on overcoming the other, like Indra and Prahlāda of old. The passage underscores how the will to victory can intensify conflict into a fearsome contest, testing valor and restraint alike.
