Hearing those words the charioteer Aruṇa instantly drove swiftly the chariot yoked with horses wearing white chāmaras. The Sun took up His huge bow and shot two divine arrows having the lustre and properties of serpents. The first was the sañchāra astra thrown amongst the enemy's forces and the second Indrajāla astra having the properties of magic. By the influence of the sañchāra astra the faces of the demons and the Devas were changed into those of the Devas and Dānavas. In other words, the faces of the demons looked like those of the Devas and the faces of the Devas looked like those of the demons.—151-157.
