Brahmâ seeing the Devas overpowered with anxiety and ready to go and stand on the pole of the chariot said, "I shall be the charioteer," and with these words He took the reins of the horses when all the Devas, assembled there, expressed their unbounded delight in a loud chorus of exclamation Brahmâ started the chariot and Lord Śiva jumped into it saying "Yes, He is the worthy charioteer of Mine" When Śiva seated Himself in the chariot, the horses through His weight knelt down to the ground until their faces were covered with dust At that time, Lord Śiva, finding those horses—the manifestations of the Vedas—falling down to the ground, lifted them up, as a dutiful son up lifts his distressed manes—52 56 Again a loud exclamation arose and all the Devas shouted frequently, "Victory, victory to Him" which seemed like the roaring sound of the billows of the ocean Then Brahmâ, the giver of boons, made the steeds go faster by smacking the whip of Om The horses with their heads lifted up into the air and their mouths open, galloped away, hissing like ferocious serpents as if they would devour the Heavens The horses, goaded by Brahmâ and directed by Śiva, flew like the wind blowing at the time of the destruction of the world—57 60
