tataḥ sarvāsu māyāsu hatāsu ditinandanāḥ
hiraṇyakaśipuṃ daityaṃ vivarṇāḥ śaraṇaṃ yayuḥ //

When all Mâyâs raised up by the Daityas were annihilated, the demons went for shelter to Hiraṇyakaśyapu with a heavy heart who burnt with rage and determined to destroy everything At that hour the whole universe was covered with darkness (Tamas), and the following very strong, fearful winds began to blow as ominous signs:—Âbaha Pravaha, Vivaha, Udvaha, Parâvaha, Saṁvaha and Parivaha and all the planets and asterisms visible at the time of the destruction of the world began to be seen in the sky.—30-34
