Then he, too, struck down the elephant of his enemy by means of his mace. Then Vrikodara killed Kshemadhurti with his mace, who then had descended from his crushed elephant and had advanced against him with uplifted weapons. Having been thus killed, he, with a sword in the hand, fell down dead by the side of his elephant.
तस्य भीमोऽपि द्विरदं गदया समपोथयत्। तस्मात् प्रमथितान्नागात् क्षेमधूर्तिमवप्लुतम्॥ उद्यतायुधमायान्तं गदयाऽहन् वृकोदरः। स पपात हतः सासिळसुस्तमभितो द्विपम्॥
