O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, suppressor of enemies (Arindama), Lord Śiva fought with Jambha, and Vibhāvasu fought with Mahiṣāsura. Ilvala, along with his brother Vātāpi, fought the sons of Lord Brahmā. Durmarṣa fought with Cupid, the demon Utkala with the Mātṛkā demigoddesses, Bṛhaspati with Śukrācārya, and Śanaiścara (Saturn) with Narakāsura. The Maruts fought Nivātakavaca, the Vasus fought the Kālakeya demons, the Viśvedeva demigods fought the Pauloma demons, and the Rudras fought the Krodhavaśa demons, who were victims of anger.
Vrishaparva’s daughter, Sharmishtha was given in marriage to King Yayati, the son of Nahusha. Danu’s son, Vaishvanara had four beautiful daughters- Upadenavi married Hiranyaksha, Hayashira married Kratu, and Kashyapa married the other two, Puloma and Kalaka. From these two were born the 60,000 Nivatakavachas, Paulomas and Kalakeyas that were killed by Arjuna. Through his wife Simhika, Viprachitti begot one hundred and one sons, headed by Rahu (the other one hundred are known as Ketus).
