Seeing all the three worlds greatly agitated, the foes of the Immortals uniting all their armies rose up together, with uplifted weapons. “Ha! what is this?” exclaimed the Asura Mahiṣa in wrath, and rushed surrounded by all the Asuras towards that roar. Then he saw the goddess, pervading the three worlds[7] with her light, causing the earth to bow at the touch of her feet, grazing the firmament with her crest, shaking the whole of Pātāla with the twang of her bow-string, standing pervading the sky all around with her thousand arms. Then began a battle between the goddess and the enemies of the gods, in which every region of the sky was illumined with the weapons and arms hurled in abundance. And the Asura Mahiṣa’s general, the great Asura named Cikṣura, fought with her; and the Asura Cāmara attended by his cavalry fought along with others. The great Asura named Udagi'a with six myriads of chariots fought; and Mahāhanu with a thousand myriads gave battle; and the great Asura Asiloman with fifty millions; with six hundred myriads Yāskala fought in the battle; Ugradarśana[8] with many troops of thousands of elephants and horses, and surrounded with ten million chariots fought in that battle; and the Asura named Viḍāla fought in the battle there, surrounded with fifty myriads of myriads of chariots. And other great Asuras in myriads, surrounded with chariots, elephants and horses, fought with the goddess in that battle there. Now the Asura Mahiṣa was surrounded with thousands of ten million times ten millions of chariots and elephants and horses in the battle there. With iron maces and javelins, with spears and clubs, with swords, with axes and halberds they fought in the battle against the goddess. And some hurled spears, and others nooses, but they assailed the goddess with blows from their swords in order to slay her.
