koṭivīryāṇi pañcāśadasurāṇāṃ kulāni vai /
śataṃ kulāni dhaumrāṇāṃ nirgacchantu mamājñayā //

The ṛṣi spoke:
After both the Daitya Caṇḍa was slain and Muṇḍa was laid low, and many soldiers were destroyed, the lord of the Asuras, majestic Śumbha, with mind overcome by wrath, gave command then to array all the Daitya hosts,—“Now let the eighty-six Daityas, upraising their weapons, march forth with all their forces; let the eighty-four Kambūs[1] march forth surrounded by their own forces; let the fifty Asura families who excel in valour go forth; let the hundred families of Dhaumri[2] go forth at my command. Let the Kālakas,[3] the Daurhṛtas,[4] the Mauryas,[5] and the Kālakeyas,[6]—let these Asuras, hastening at my command, march forth ready for battle.”
