with folded hands addressed Śukra, who possessed splendour like Indra and the sun: // 1
Andhaka said:
"O Lord, we have reached Mount Mandara with its lovely caves,
whose rocky surfaces are barred by frightful Pramathas. // 2
Moving through the air, masters of illusion, and yogins of great might,
these leaders of the gaṇas cannot be overcome by the Dānavas by brute force alone. // 3
