Text 13] King Indra Annihilates the Demons 73
TRANSLATION
Since Maharaja Bali’s rebukes were truthful, King Indra did not
at all become sorry, just as an elephant beated by its driver’s rod
does not become agitated.

TRANSLATION
When Indra, the defeater of enemies, released his infallible
thunderbolt scepter at Bali Maharaja with a desire to kill him, Bali
Maharaja indeed fell to the ground with his airplane, like a moun-
tain with its wings cut off.
PURPORT
In many descriptions in Vedic literature it is found that mountains also
fly in the sky with wings. When such mountains are dead, they fall to the
ground, where they stay as very large dead bodies.
