Seeing the mothers enraged, it is believed that Bajrangbali walks ahead with the flag of mother and Bherubaba walks behind both the mothers as mother's armor. Hanumanji and Bherubaba requested him to calm down his anger and stop. By this time, half the torso of the elder mother was buried in Hades. She stopped in the same position in the tekri, while the younger mother was getting down from the tekri.
