M. N. Dutt: When that exalted son of Pavaka was installed as the generallissimo of the celestials army, that handsome and happy lord, riding with Parvati on a car and shining as effulgent as the sun, went to a place called Bhadravata. To his beautiful chariot were yoked thousands of lions and it was driven by Kala (himself). They passed through space and seemed as if they were about to devour the sky. Striking terror into the hearts of all creatures in the mobile and immobile worlds, those lions flitted through the sky uttering fearful growls. In that chariot was seated Pashupati (Shiva) with the mother Uma. Looking like the sun with flames of lightening illuminating masses of clouds which are adorned with the bow of Indra. In front of him proceeded the lord of wealth (Kubera) with his followers Guhyakas, Riding on the backs of human beings and riding (also) on his beautiful car Pushpaka. Indra also with the celestials went riding on his elephant Airavata, And brought up the rear of Mahadeva, the giver of boons. The great Yaksha Amogha with his followers, the Jrimbhaka Yakshas and other Rakshasas adorned with garlands of flowers were in the right wing of the army. Many celestials warriors with the Vasus and the Rudras, marched in the right wing of the army. Then marched the terrible Yama in company with Death followed by hundreds of fearful diseases. Behind him was carried the fearful, sharp and well-adorned trident of Shiva called Vijaya. The exalted lord of waters Varuna with his terrible Pasha (weapon) surrounded by innumerable aquatic animals marched slowly with the trident. The trident of the Vijaya was followed by Pattisha (weapon) of Rudra guarded. By mace, balls, clubs and other excellent weapons. O king, Pattisha was followed by the greatly effulgent umbrella of Rudra. And by the vessels and by the great Rishis. On the right looked beautiful the effulgent scepter followed by Bhrigu Angira and others. Behind all these, rode Rudra on his white chariot, giving great encouragement to the celestials by his great prowess. Rivers and lakes, the seas, Apsaras, Rishis, celestials, Gandharvas, Nagas, stars, planets and other children of the celestials and also many handsome women followed him in his train. The beautiful ladies went scattering flowers all around. |

M. N. Dutt: To disturb the equanimity of the celestials. The firmament with the stars was on a blaze. The whole universe became greatly confused. The earth tremble I and sent up a rumbling sound. Darkness covered the whole world. Seeing this fearful catastrophy, Shankara (Shiva) with the greatly blessed Uma and with the celestials and the great Rishis became greatly aggrieved. When such confusion overtook them, they saw before them a fearful and mighty army with various weapons; it looked like a mass of clouds and rocks. Those terrible and countless beings, speaking various languages, came where stood Shankara and the celestials. They hurled on the celestials showers of arrows from all directions, And also masses of rocks, maces, clubs, Shataghnis, Prasas and Parighas (all weapons). The celestials army was thrown into great confusion by the shower of those fearful weapons and they began to waver. The Danavas made a great havoc by cutting down the soldiers, horses, elephants, chariots and arins. The celestials forces were then seen to turn their backs upon the enemy. Many of them fell, killed by the Asuras as large trees fall in the forest when a wild fire takes place. The dwellers of heaven fell with their heads cut off from their bodies. They had none to lead them in that fearful battle and they were thus killed by the enemy. Seeing his army unsteady and hard pressed by the Danavas, the lord of the celestials, the slayer of Bala, Purandara, tried to rally them by saying, "O heroes, do not be afraid; may success attend you. Take up your arms. Resolve upon displaying bravery; you will then meet with no more misfortune and you will then be able to defeat these wicked and terrible wretches, the Danavas. Be blessed; attack the great Danavas with me.” Having heard the words of Shakra, the dwellers of heaven became reassured. |

Thereupon all the celestials and the greatly powerful Marutas. Along with the greatly exalted Sadhyas and the Vasus returned to the attack, the arrows which they angrily discharged against the enemy drank a large quantity of blood from the bodies of the Daityas and of their horses and elephants. Their sharp arrows passing through their bodies fell upon the ground looking like so inany snakes falling from the sides of a hill. O_king, the Daityas, thus pierced by the arrows, fell on all sides, looking like so many masses of clouds. Attacked by the celestials on the field of battle, the Danava forces. Were struck with panic and they wavered at that shower of various arrows. Then the celestials loudly gave vent to their joy with uplifted weapons. The celestials musicians began to play various airs. Thus took place that great battle, so fearful to both sides. The battle field was covered with blood and strewn with the bodies of both the Devas and the Danavas. The celestials however, were soon worsted and the fearful Danavas again made a great havoc of the celestials army. The Asura drums were sounded and their shrill bugles were loudly blown. The Danava chiefs sent forth terrific lion-like roars. Then came forward from the fearful Danava army a greatly powerful Danava, named Mahisha with a large mass of rocks in his hands. |
