Then, instructed by the goddess, with various weapons in their hands, / they faced the Dānavas, led by Somanandin. // 32 // / Having fought a great battle with the Dānava followers, / they were scattered by the lord of the Dānavas like clouds by the wind. // 33 // / In the meantime, the goddess, seeing that Andhaka advancing fiercely, / ran forward herself, taking up a bow with arrows. // 34
