His strong and passionate love for Sakuntala surges upon him with doubled and redoubled-force. Indulging in sorrow at his repudiation of Sakuntala, the king passes three long years; at the end of which Matali, Indra's charioteer, appears to ask the king's aid in vanquishing the demons. He makes his aerial voyage in Indra's car.
Slain by Satwata by means of his straight shafts whose touch resembled that of Indra's thunder, the Yavanas covered the surface of the earth. The small remnant of those mail-clad troops vanquished in battle, O king, by Satwata, becoming cheerless, their lives on the point of being taken, broke and urging their steeds with goads and whips to their utmost speed, fled from fear in all directions.

After erecting the pole they decked it with golden cloth and scents and garlands and various ornaments.
And the Pandava warriors all rushed together upon Bhishma singly, upon that mighty car-warrior struggling in battle with great activity, like the Asuras rushing together upon him with the thunderbolt in hand. Shooting on all sides his whetted arrows whose touch resembled that of Indra's thunder, he seemed to the enemy to have assembled a terrible visage.
And Rakshasa hurled at Rama a terrible javelin looking like Indra's thunderbolt and resembling a Brahmana's curse on the point of utterance. Rama, however, quickly cut into fragments that javelin by means of his sharp arrows. And beholding that most difficult feat, Ravana was struck with fear.
Let there be eternal friendship between thee and Indra. Thou shalt be happy and shall dwell eternally in Indra's regions." And the mighty Vritra having heard the words of the saints, bowed his head unto them. Ye stainless beings, hear also what I have got to say. How can there be peace between us two, Indra and myself? How can there be friendship, ye gods, between two hostile powers?"
The eyes were turned on me with a calm, searching, steady gaze, whose effect was such as Southey ascribes to Indra's: "The look he gave was solemn, not severe; No hope to Kailyal it conveyed, And yet it struck no fear." For a moment they rested on Eveena's veiled and drooping figure with a widely different expression.
