The Sons of Diti headed by Vidyunmâlî and Maya advanced towards the Devas with jovial minds The army of the demons looked as if, they were prepared to face death and very doubtful of victory moved like bodies void of strength They, all expert in war, thundered and exchanged words with their enemies looked like the roaring clouds and showed marvellous prowess in their encounter with the Devas The two parties, emitting smoke as it were, powdered many of their enemies by their weapons, blazing like fire and moon Some of the demons fell down by the blows of clubs and others clean cut into two by the quoits and the arrows fell into the ocean —8-12
