O king of kings, the greatly powerful Mahasena hurled a blazing Shakti (weapon) for the destruction of Mahisha. That weapon cut off his head and he fell on the ground dead.
स चापि तां प्रज्वलितां महिषस्य विदारिणीम्। मुमोच शक्ति राजेन्द्र महासेनो महाबलः॥ सा मुक्ताभ्यहरत् तस्य महिषस्य शिरो महत्। पपात भिन्ने शिरसि महिषस्त्यक्तजीवितः॥
