The demons beheld the Lord Moon who came to the battle, mounted on a chariot drawn by white horses, adorned with white and cool rays, pleasing to the worlds, followed by all the Nakṣattras, the Lord of the Brâhmaṇas the Dispeller of nocturnal darkness, the receptacle of thousands of herbs and nectar, looking like a portion of the universe, and riding on white horses and holding in his hands weapons causing cold —24 27 Vâyu, the creator of fire, the Lord of all, the omnipresent in all the seven tunes and the sounds, the foremost of all the elements, the formless, the easily accessable to heaven, the producer of sound, and fivefold Prâna of all the beings, the life of all, bursting with his own force, also joined the army of the Devas, followed by clouds and caused great pain to the demons by His violence—28 31
