Then, by the sons of Dākṣāyaṇī, the destroyers of Dakṣa's sacrifice, / unwavering in their devotion, could not be turned back. / Sanatkumāra said: / Perceiving that the enemies, defeated, were unable / to climb the summit of the mountain, the God restrained the Pramathas completely. / The God of gods said: / "Let the sons of Danu climb Mandara with its lovely caves. / For my sport, O lords of the gaṇas, fight together with them!" / They saw [the mountain] where a terrible roar was uttered by the king of beasts standing in many lovely bowers, / whose ground was strewn with the flowers of trees broken by the charges of herds of roaming elephants, / where the darkness of lovely rock caverns was dispelled by the lamps of the crest jewels of serpent kings, / and whose clefts were seen among networks of great rocks split by the speed of cool, clear torrent water.
