Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
फिर तो उन दोनों असुरोंका और भगवान् नारायणका युद्ध आरम्भ हो गया। भगवान् मधुसूदनने ब्रह्माजीका मान रखनेके लिये तमोगुण और रजोगुणसे आविष्ट शरीरवाले उन दोनों दैत्यों--मधु और कैटभको मार डाला ।।
tatas tayor avadhena āśu vedāpaharaṇena ca | śokāpanayanaṃ cakre brahmaṇaḥ puruṣottamaḥ ||
其后，至上之人（那罗延）迅速诛灭彼二魔，又夺回被劫之吠陀，遂消解梵天之悲恸。

Educational Q&A
Sacred knowledge and cosmic order must be protected; even force, when guided by dharma, is justified to remove adharma (theft of the Vedas) and to relieve suffering (Brahmā’s grief).
After Madhu and Kaiṭabha steal the Vedas and cause Brahmā distress, Nārāyaṇa fights them, kills them swiftly, retrieves the Vedas, and thereby removes Brahmā’s sorrow.
