vāpīpālāstato 'bhyetya nabhaḥ kāla ivāmbudāḥ

The demons at the time of their being thus addressed by Maya in a deep voice like that of rumbling cloud became still more pale like the stars becoming dull under the radiance of the Moon At this time the demons posted to guard the well of nectar approached their sovereign Maya and with folded hands said—9 10 "O Demon King! Some Deva in the form of a bull has quaffed the contents of the nectar well, constructed by your grace with lotus beds and the buzzing bees all round it and where fishes used to play at bottom in its mud It now looks like a senseless ugly woman"—11-12
