tayā vṛṣṭyā bādhyamānā daityendrāṇāṃ mahaujasām
gatiṃ kāṃ ca na paśyanto gāvaḥ śītārditā iva //

Kalanemi, at the same time, poured out a shower of missiles on the Devas just as clouds shower rain The Devas oppressed with the shower of fearful missiles could not cope with the demons and looked like the cows oppressed with cold They left their arms and embraced one another and threw themselves behind their horses chariots etc They all hid themselves and most of them contracted their bodies and covered their faces with their hands Others took to their heels—181 184
