Jewelled pitchers adorned the banner of Aśvinīkumâras and that of Indra with golden elephant, white chamaras and bedecked with wonderfully variegated jewels and pearls. The army of the Devas consisting of serpents, Yaksas, Gandharvas, Niśacharas swelled to 33 koṭis and looked invincible. The thousand-eyed Indra clad in fine raiments and wearing beautiful ornaments with his arms adorned with armlets and attended by thousands of bards looked grand in heaven when he took his seat on his elephant Airavata, white like the Himâlaya, adorned with a golden garland and marked with red vermilion and saffron on the temples and surrounded by a swarm of black bees.
