tato 'śvinau samarutaḥ sasādhyāḥ samahoragāḥ
yakṣarākṣasagandharvā divyanānāstrapāṇayaḥ //

Varuṇa threw His fearful snake noose hissing with venom to tie the arms of the demon That, too became distressed on getting round the arms of the demon The saw like teeth and lower jaws of the snakes were broken Then the powerful Aśvinîkumâras, the Maruts the Sâdhya Devas, the Serpents, the Yakṣas, the Râkṣasas, and the Gandharvas taking up their arms of various kinds began all at once to inflict repeated blows on the demon Even then no appreciable effect was produced and could not penetrate his rock like body—211 214
