Accordingly, 鈥淸...] The Vidy膩dhara-soldiers came, obscuring him [i.e., R膩va峁嘺] with weapons, like clouds a great mountain. R膩va峁嘺, having cruel strength, broke missiles with missiles and not wishing to kill them, bewildered them at once with the missile 笔谤补蝉惫腻辫补苍补 (lit, 鈥榮ending to sleep鈥�). Da艣膩nana bound them like cattle with magic nooses and released them, asked by his wives for their f膩thers as a boon.
