In this regard, Śrīla Madhvācārya says:

kālanemy-ādayaḥ sarve
kariṇā nihatā api
śukreṇojjīvitāḥ santaḥ
punas tenaiva pātitāḥ

“Kālanemi and all the other demons were killed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, and when Śukrācārya, their spiritual master, brought them back to life, they were again killed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
