188 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 6

TRANSLATION

Well protected by armor and desiring to fight, Purafijaya took
up a transcendental bow and very sharp arrows, and, while being
highly praised by the demigods, he got up on the back of the bull
[Indra] and sat on its hump. Thus he is known as Kakutstha. Being
empowered by Lord Visnu, who is the Supersoul and the Supreme
Person, Purajijaya sat on the great bull and is therefore known as
Indravaha. Surrounded by the demigods, he attacked the residence
of the demons in the west.

TRANSLATION

There was a fierce battle between the demons and Puraiijaya. In-
deed, it was so fierce that when one hears about it one’s hairs stand
on end. All the demons bold enough to come before Puraijijaya
were immediately sent to the residence of Yamaraja by his arrows.
