The Lord
wrested with Mura for one thousand celestial years and then, apparently
fatigued, left for Badarika-asrama. There He entered a very beautiful cave,
named Himavati, to rest. The demon followed Him into the cave, and, seeing Him
asleep, started thinking within his heart: “Today I will kill this slayer of
all demons, Hari.” While the wicked demon Mura was making plans in this way,
from Lord Visnu’s body there manifested a young girl who had a very bright
complexion. Mura saw that she was equipped with various brilliant weapons and
was ready to fight. Challenged by that female to do battle, Mura prepared
himself and then fought with her, but he became very astonished when he saw
that she fought with him without cessation. The king of demons then said: “Who
has created this angry, fearsome girl who is fighting me so powerfully, just
like a thunderbolt falling upon me?” After saying this, the demon continued to
fight with the girl.
