The golden banner of Tarakâsura was highly awe-inspiring, that of Grasana bore the symbol of alligator and fish, that of Jambha was made of iron-faced Pisacha, the symbols of an ass with a moving tail was on the banner of Kujambha, and then was a lofty iron crow in the banner of Sumbha. Similarly there were various kinds of symbols on the banners of other Daityas. A hundred swift-running tigers adorned with golden garlands, were yoked to the chariot of Grasana; Jambha also occupied a similar invincible chariot carried by a hundred lions. Many asses were yoked to the chariot of Kujambha; camels to that of Mahisasura and horses in the chariot of Kunjara (Gajâsura)—45-51.
