"Vaali's scornful address enraged the Asura who said: 'Don't boast of your
strength in the presence of your admiring women. I have come here for a fight with you. If
you have any manliness in you, come out and show it. You will say you are too drunk now to
fight; but I am willing to wait till you become sober. If you like you may spend the night
in your pleasures and bid a tearful leave of all your dear ones and come to me in the
morning to be slain by me.'
"Vaali laughed at Dundubhi's words and
said: 'My dear women, go inside. O Asura, I am not the worse for drink and if you want a
fight, there is no time like the present. Have at you!' So saying and with a laugh he took
hold of the Asura by his tail and whirled him round and flung him. Dundubhi spat blood and
fell on the ground. |
