śaṃbhuṃ bibheda daśanair nābhideśe gajāsuraḥ
dṛṣṭvā saktaṃ tu rudrābhyāṃ nava rudrāstato 'dbhutam //

Hearing their words Kapalî picking up a sharp trident and knitting his eyebrows and with eyes wide open through rage, ran before the demon and hit it on the forehead of the Daitya Afterwards the remaining ten Rudras also hit his mountain like body with their tridents Blood ran out of the demon's mouth on being wounded by those sharp tridents At that time, the Daitya looked beautiful like the clear pond during winter teeming with swans and blue and red lotus flowers Surrounded by the Rudras covered with ashes, the Daitya looked beautiful, like a black mountain adorned with white geese The Daitya thus injured, moved his ears and hit Śambhu Rudra on His navel and began to fight severely with two other Rudras at which the remaining Rudras started piercing the body of the demon fearlessly with their weapons The fearless Rudras surrounded Gajâsura on all sides —38 44
