sahaiva jagmuśca gaṇeśakādyā viṃśaccatuḥṣaṣṭigaṇāstrayuktāḥ
yakṣeśvaraḥ koṭiśatair anekair yuto 'nvagāt syandanasaṃsthitānām //
Afterwards the moon refused the similar request even of Śiva, Brahmâ, Sâdhya Devas, the Maruts, &c., which threw Lord Śiva in a fearful rage and befriending Bṛihaspati, Vâmadeva armed with His Ajgava bow and followed by His attendants and the Bhûteśvar Siddhâs, started to fight with the Moon. At that time Śiva emitting fire from His third eye looked awfully fearful by the reflection of the dazzle cast on Him by the Moon.—35-37. Seeing Śiva going out on a fight, His other attendants Gaṇeśa, &c., armed with various weapons, and Kuvera also with His innumeraable army followed Him.—38.
