adorned with garlands of flowers sprung from the wish-yielding tree, / whose breasts were covered with bodices green like the bodies of parrots, // 38 // / having the sportive, graceful movements of the gait of an intoxicated elephant, / speaking with soft and charming sounds like intoxicated cuckoos and water-cocks, // 39 // / causes of obstruction even to great austerities performed— / they showed themselves to bring about the destruction of the enemies. // 8.129.40 // / Then, seeing those apsarases, the Daiteyas, deluded by desire, / fought with one another for the sake of those beautiful-limbed ones, // 41 // / with maces, iron bars, discuses, swords, tridents, mallets, and javelins, / with bows, thunderbolts, sharp-pointed bhindipālas, and battle-axes. // 42
