Sanatkumāra said:
Then, seeing them all slain by the Boar,
one [servant], having escaped with great difficulty, entered the city of Aśmaka. // 1
Going to the door of his assembly hall, he spoke these words,
with dishevelled hair, covered in dust, and drenched in blood: // 2
"Inform the wise lord of the Dānavas, O Daityas!"
Urged on, the doorkeeper, weapon raised, reported to the king: // 3
"Those best of asuras who went to see that lord of beasts—
all those sons of Diti have been struck down by him, attacking with valour. // 4
Do not be negligent, O king of the Daityas! Do not underestimate the lord of beasts!
Do not wait for a later time, and do not think him to be [a mere] beast.
He is vast, without a doubt; he cannot be conquered by the Dānavas." // 5
Sanatkumāra said:
Hearing that speech of his, the great asura Hiraṇyākṣa
rose up from his seat, enraged on his own. // 6
He stood like a banner raised for Indra, roaring like a raincloud,
his face distorted by knit brows, blazing like a smoky fire. // 7
