Jambavantha, the mighty king of Bears, rushed from his army that looked like a dark cloud. The great hero with his army resembling a heap of black mountain, in his fury seized a huge rock resembling a mountain peak, crushed the chariot and struck the horses.

In a short while, regaining consciousness, mighty Mahaparsva struck Angada again with many shafts.
