The duel of teacher and pupil is likened to the battle of Bali and Indra, demon and god: a fearsome equality. It is telling that the epic sets them beside the greatest of adversaries. The verse teaches that the meeting of two perfections is a spectacle of cosmic scale; when equals in mastery come together, their very clash rises to the image of the eternal struggle upon which all the worlds gaze.
