Afterwards Viṣṇu saw both Agni and Vâyu, and at the request of Indra asked them both to dispel the delusion at which they annihilated that all-pervading Mâyâ. Vâyu with Agni consumed the demons, just as beings are reduced to ashes at the destruction of the universe. The wind blew fiercely and was followed by fire. In that way the two Devas started their play of havoc in the ranks of the demons. They consumed the Vimânas of the demons with everything all round. Agni in company of the wind burnt the shoulders of the demons, and Maya could not kill any one. The Pârvatî Mâyâ disappeared. At that time Viṣṇu was praised by the Devas.—31-36.
