Seeing this wonder Jayanta, the expert fighter shot fire arrows toward the wooden armies, so that they were immediately destroyed, being burnt to ashes. Thus with the wooden army which was 125,000 in number, they killed two million soldiers protected by Krishnamsas. All these creatures had wooden warriors on their back. They made ten-thousand elephants (made out of wood) along with warriors, one million horses, one thousand buffaloes, one thousand hogs, one thousand tigers, one thousand swans, and seven thousand camels. Being afraid the Buddhists ran away from the battle and went to their home to produce a wooden army with the help of a machinery arrangement. In that war seven million Buddhists, and two million Aryans were killed. There was a terrible battle between the Buddhists and the Aryans. On the other side, Krishnamsa, Deva, Netrapala, Mandalika, Dhanyapada, Lallasimha, Talana and Jana nayaka were the generals, each of them having one million soldiers. There were one million soldiers each from the countries of Syama and Japaka, and ten million soldiers from China assembled for a fight. When they arrived on the bank of the Huha river, it was the month of Magh, the second half part of the month of January, the fight took place again. The opposite army also continued following them. Being afraid, all the Buddhists left India completely and went to China to continue the war from there. Then Netrasimha arrived with seven million soldiers protected by eight generals, for the destruction of the Buddhists. Again they had a large battle which lasted for one month. The great powerful kings, who killed all the inimical armies protected by Baudha-simha, were Yoga-simha, Bhoga-simha and Vijaya.Īfter that more Buddhists came from the countries known as Shyama and Japaka, and all of them were magicians. The fight went on terribly between the armies for seven days and nights. The powerful king Bauddha-simha who had seven-million soldiers, fought with those kings who had only three million soldiers. Bauddha, the lord of nyuhas (the lessened people) attacked the beautiful city of Netrapala, thinking that this city is wonderfully decorated with various kinds of jewels. As soon as the 29th year started the battle took place among those kings who took birth as the incarnations of the associates of Krishna. After hearing this Muni went to his place with Makaranda and resided there. Lord Shiva said: Upto 30 years you will enjoy your country in the middle of the earth, then it will be destroyed. Then her father, Muni, asked lord Shiva to bless her, so that they will successfully make progress in this world. She performed austerity to please Lord Shiva, and as a benediction lord Shiva intrusted her to a sober sage Makaranda. They gave birth to a daughter named Kinnari. He married the daughter of Svarnadeva, the god of gold. The sage accepted her and after some time they produced a son named ‘Muni’ who performed austerity very strictly upto 12 years. Manjughosha humbly said: ”O lord, you are the protector of those who came to your shelter, therefore I’m at your shelter, please become my husband”. Then the glorious Shuka, hearing this auspicious prayer asked her to request a benediction. She praised him with a beautiful prayer holding her hands and bowing down. Seeing this beautiful boy, she tried to attract him while singing and dancing, being overwhelmed by lusty desires.
One day a heavenly apsara know as Manjughosha came to that place where the sage Shuka was residing. Long ago in the country known as Citrartha, the inhabitants of the heavenly planets used to come to play during the time of autumn.
