Giving up the attack of arrows of Indravāha, which resembled the flames of devastation at the end of the millennium, the demons, being wounded, fled to Pātāla.
Those demons who remained fled to Pātāla.
Personal Guidance
Once divine arrows are unleashed, opposition simply flees. There comes a point in the Lord's arrangements when the outcome is no longer in doubt — our job is to be on the right side of that outcome.
