Text 3.26.19
महाकपालस्य शिरश्चिच्छेद परमेषुभिः।
असंख्येयैस्तु बाणौघैः प्रममाथ प्रमाथिनम्॥
mahākapālasya śiraś ciccheda parameṣubhiḥ
asaṅkhyeyais tu bāṇaughaiḥ pramamātha pramāthinam
mahākapālasya = Mahākapāla’s; śiraḥ = head; ciccheda = He cut; parama-iṣubhiḥ = with excellent arrows; asaṅkhyeyaiḥ tu = with innumerable; bāṇa-oghaiḥ = showers of arrows; pramamātha = He pulverized; pramāthinam = Pramāthī.
The author then gives an example to describe Pramāthī’s pulverized body.
