puṣpadanto 'tha sātvataḥ
puṣpadanto 'tha sātvataḥ
sarve nāgāyuta-prāṇāś
camūṁ te jaghnur āsurīm
Nanda, Sunanda, Jaya, Vijaya, Prabala, Bala, Kumuda, Kumudākṣa, Viṣvaksena, Garuḍa Jayanta, Śrutadeva, Puṣpadanta and Sātvata, as powerful as ten thousand elephants, killed the demonic army.
In order to show the frightful nature of offending the devotees of the Lord, expansions of Jaya and Vijaya fell from Vaikuṇṭha.[139] This has been explained in the description of Vaikuṇṭha in the Third Canto. Nāgas are elephants which move around Lokāloka mountain range.[140] Or they are elephants who are vibhūtis of the Lord in Vaikuṇṭha.
