'With Vayu as his charioteer, Agni assumed a form with matted locks on his head and roared like thundering clouds as he pursued the Asura, eager to consume him. Seeing the Asura and Agni approaching from behind with his blazing presence, Vasudeva stood ready with his weapon uplifted.' ॥ 1-219-36 ॥

तस्य भीतस्वनं शरुत्वा मा भैर इति धनंजयः परत्युवाच मयं पार्थॊ जीवयन्न इव भारत ॥ १-२१९-३८ ॥

तस्मिन वने दह्यमाने षड अग्निर न ददाह च अश्वसेनं मयं चापि चतुरः शार्ङ्गकान इति ॥ १-२१९-४० ॥

'Vaisampayana continued, 'Protected by Krishna and Partha from Indra, Agni, endowed with great intelligence, burned that forest for fifteen days. During the conflagration, Agni spared only six inhabitants of the forest: Aswasena, Maya, and four birds known as Sarngakas.'' ॥ 1-219-40 ॥
