63. When those Danavas of great honour and" prestige became spiritless and despondent, Mahisa, the Lord of the Danavas, became angry with his eyes turned red.
64. That terrible Mahisa who rushed at Hari depending solely on the strength of his arms attacked Hari with a keen- edged lance.
65-70. The hero forcefully struck Garuda on the chest with his Sakti. Thereupon the Daitya opened his mouth which resembled a cave in a big mountain. In the course of that battle he wished to swallow Acyuta along with Garuda. On coming to know the intention of the Danava, the highly powerful lord filled his mouth with divine weapons. On being injured and struck by those (missile-charged) arrows, Mahisa who resembled a mountain, fell down and died. Half of his body rolled down. On seeing Mahisa fallen down, Hari resuscitated his life and said to Mahisa: “O Danava, you do not deserve death from me. You are to be killed by a woman as mentioned by the Lotus-born Lord himself. Get up. You have been released by me. Go quickly from this great battle.” On being told thus by Hari, the Asura went away from that spot.
