He with his mace smote at the forehead of that lord of birds, even as the Destroyer had smitten Isana,* or as Indra smites a mountain with his thunder-bolt. *There took place an encounter betwcen Radra and Yama in the Sveta forest, for the protection of Märkandeya and a certain king. In this battle, Yama had smitten Rudra. This is narrated in the Puranas.
गदया गरुडेशानमीशानमिव चान्तकः। ललाटदेशेऽभ्यहनद्वजेणेन्द्रो यथाचलम् ॥
