Surviving Rakshasas Report to Kubera
Surviving rakshasas flee to Kubera's abode, wailing in distress — their arms lost, their garments besmeared with blood. A single man, they report, has killed all their warriors including Maniman. Kubera's eyes turn red with anger. He orders his chariot yoked with gandharva horses and departs with one crore yakshas to confront the intruder.
The rakshasas who had survived Bhimasena returned towards Kubera's abode. Travelling at great speed, they swiftly reached Vaishravana's dwelling. They wailed in terrible distress, oppressed by fear of Bhimasena. They had lost their arms and weapons. They were exhausted. Their garments were besmeared with blood. Their hair was dishevelled.
They told the lord of the yakshas: "O lord of riches! O god! Armed with clubs, maces, swords, javelins and lances, all the foremost warriors among the rakshasas have been killed. A man has swiftly penetrated the mountain and has single-handedly killed masses of krodhavashas (fierce beings) in battle. O lord of riches! O god! The foremost among chief rakshasas and yakshas have been killed and have lost their senses and their spirits. He has taken the mountain. We are the only ones who have escaped. Your friend Maniman has also been killed. This act has been done by a single man. Now do what should be done hereafter."
Hearing this, the lord of all the masses of yakshas was enraged. His eyes became red with anger and he exclaimed, "How is that possible!"
On hearing of Bhima's second offence, the lord of riches and the lord of the yakshas was angered and instructed his horses to be yoked. The beautiful chariot was yoked with supreme gandharva horses that possessed all good qualities. They were clear in the eye and were swift and strong. They were adorned with many gems. The chariot resembled a cloud and was as high as the peak of a mountain. The beautiful horses were yoked to the chariot and were ready to fly, like arrows. They were excited and neighed at each other, as if foretelling victory.
The illustrious king of the yakshas ascended the grand chariot and the immensely radiant one departed, praised by the gods and the gandharvas. As the great-souled lord of riches left, all the yakshas accompanied him. Their eyes were red. They were golden in complexion. They were gigantic in form and immensely strong. They were armed with weapons and had girded their swords. There were one crore (ten million) yakshas. They were brave and indomitable in spirit. They surrounded their king. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 455
