tau rajastamasau viṣṇoḥ sambhūtau tāmasau gaṇau
ekārṇave jagatsarvaṃ kṣobhayantau mahābalau //
Matsya said:—When Brahmâ was practising austerities in the lotus, the great Asura Madhu appeared to cause him obstacles and the Asura Kaiṭabha full of Rajoguṇa also put on his appearance They full of Rajo and Tamoguṇas began to torment the universe Wearing fine dress having white pointed and fearful teeth adorned with coronets armlets, those most valiant Asuras with bloodshot eyes, bloated chest, mighty arms, gigantic like the mountains shining like the clouds, with faces like the sun holding clubs like lightning agitating the ocean with their feet, made an attempt to arouse Viṣṇu from His sleep.—1 6
