After the departure of the sage, Maya the leader of the Dânavas, advised his followers not to fear and said, “O, Brave Danavas! we are born heroes, sons and grandsons are born to us, we have now done what ought to be done by us Now quit all fears in this hour of crisis and fight with the Devas We will all attain heaven after conquering the Devas and will enjoy all the realms after killing Indra and other Devas Go up to the terraces of your houses with all your arms and await the hour of battle after putting on your armours Dānavas! go up to your respective spots in all the three fortresses, for the places should not be left vacant This will soon be attacked by the Devas You will know the advance of the indomitable Devas in the aerial regions and I am confident of your being able to keep them at bay with your arrows'—25 30
