tadyuddhamabhavad ghoraṃ devadānavasaṅkalam .. 177.21
The army of the Devas guarded by Indra, looking white and black, extremely joyful, having the Sun and the Moon with them with asterisms as banners, swift like the wind, located close to the heavenly bodies, under the protection of Indra Varuna, and Kuvera, gleaming like fire blaze, under the chief leadership of Nârâyana, like the mass of ocean, swelled by the Yaksas, and the Gandharvas armed with various kinds of weapons, shone forth and looked particularly splendid Both the armies encountered each other, like the heaven and earth at the time of universal dissolution, and a fearful conflict ensued.—16-21
