Afterwards, the demons saw the lustrous halo of the Lord in the sky as if the glory of the rising Sun was making itself visible on the Udayâchala Mountain. All the demons were anxious to know what was that light. They all beheld the cloud-hued Lord seated on the Garuḍa, shining like the destructive fire prevailing at the time of the dissolution of the universe. Seeing Him, all the demons felt highly gratified and they said "He is the Lord Viṣṇu and the all in all of the Devas. By defeating Him we will conquer the Devas. He is the annihilator of the demons. All the Devas, under His protection, partake of Their share of sacrificial offerings." Saying so all the demons took their stand round Him and began to shower various kinds of weapons on Him.—216-222.
