"[6] In the Padma Purana, Kalanemi fought on the side of Soma and the rest of the daityas in the Tarakamaya War against the devas.

When the asura smashed Garuda's head with his mace, Vishnu retaliated by employing the Sudarshana Chakra to chop all of the former's arms, causing his lifeless form to shake the earth upon its collapse.

Their father, Kalanemi, would be reborn as Kamsa, the son of Ugrasena, and would be their uncle, killing them all immediately after their birth.

[3][9] According to the Skanda Purana, after the churning of the ocean of milk, when the nectar amrita was denied to the daityas and danavas by Vishnu in the form of Mohini, a battle ensued between the two asura races and the devas.

On the request made by the devas, Vishnu, riding his mount Garuda, attacked Kalanemi, and rendered him unconscious.
