4. The battle of the gods headed by Indra with Vīrabhadra and others; the rebuke of Indra and the others by Bṛhaspati when questioned by Indra who was anxious about victory; Vīrabhadra entering into the midst of the sacrificial enclosure after defeating the guardians of the world; then the commencement of dual combat between Vīrabhadra and others with the gods headed by Viṣṇu; Viṣṇu, seeing no defeat for Śiva's attendants, departing for his own abode.
