Arjuna asked Matali In whose land have you brought me? This does not look to be the lands inhabited by Gods. Tell me the truth.
Matali said This is the land of the daitya called Nivatkavach. By the powers of his meditation, he had captured a part of the heaven and made it his own. Indra spends sleepless nights thinking about him. Only you can put an end to him.
Arjuna said We should delay the slaying of this enemy of Indra. Drive the chariot towards the daitya.
Matali said The daitya has a huge army and you are alone. How will you fight the army? Let us tell Indra and get an army to accompany you.
Arjuna said I can easily defeat all Gods and Asuras alone. I will get rid of the enemy of the Gods alone.
Arjuna then started blowing on his conch and starting make a noise with the bow string of Gandiva. Daityas Kalkeya and Nivatkavach hearing this, rushed out to see who was making the noise. They started showering arrows at Arjuna and soon the sky was covered and the day looked like night. Arjuna invoking the fire weapon burned all the arrows. Arjuna invoked clouds which the daityas cut off with the wind weapon. The daityas then created a mountain which Arjuna cut off with a creascent weapon.
The daityas then hurled ten arrows at Arjuna which hit him on his chest. Arjuna fell on his chariot. Getting up and in pain, Arjuna started showering arrows at the army. The army seeing the weapons started fleeing. Seeing this, Nivatkavach cut off the weapons of Arjuna. Arjuna showered arrows at the daitya and he fainted on his chariot. Seeing this, his cahrioteer started fleeing. Regaining consciousness, he turned back. In the meanwhile, Kalkey and other daityas attacked Arjuna. Arjuna started showering arrows at them. Matali then told Arjuna to use the Pashupat weapon given to him by Shiva.
Arjuna invoked the weapon and released it.
The weapon, with fire blazing out of it, killed all the daityas.
A voice from the heaven said this weapon would continue its destruction, if not controlled.
Arjuna, then reciting the mantras recalled the weapon.
