After crossing the ocean, Lalitaditya reached the seven Konkanas. Dvaraka, located on the western sea shore, inspired Lalitaditya's soldiers with desire enter that city. Lalitaditya's elephant army then marched into Avanti. The dust raised by his army's crossing of Vindhya mountain made the Vindhya appear red with anger. In Avanti, the tusks of his elephants were split only by the moonlight falling on the diadem of Mahakala. (This is a reference to the traditional myth that the moonlight can split the elephant tusks).
