mārkaṇḍeya uvāca |
tato brahmarṣayaḥ siddhā devarājarṣayastathā |
havyavāhaṃ puraskṛtya brahmāṇaṃ śaraṇaṃ gatāḥ || 1 ||

"Markandeya said, 'Then the Brahmarshis, the Siddhas and the Devarshis, with Havyavaha as their spokesman, sought the protection of Brahma. And Agni said, 'That powerful son of Visrava, the Ten-headed cannot be slain on account of thy boon! Endued with great might he oppresseth in every possible way the creatures of the earth. Protect us, therefore, O adorable one! There is none else save thee to protect us!'
