Vāsuki had thousands of eyes and mouths. From his mouths he breathed smoke and blazing fire, which affected the demons, headed by Pauloma, Kāleya, Bali and Ilvala. Thus the demons, who appeared like sarala trees burned by a forest fire, gradually became powerless.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Their vitality destroyed by the smoke and fire emanating from the breathing of the thousand cruel mouths of Vāsuki, the demons headed by Pauloma, Kāleya, Bali and Ilvala became like pine trees burned by a forest fire. The demons completely lost (āhata) their vitality. Sarala is a type of tree.
