Huṇḍa, Tuhuṇḍa, Jambha, and the great Asura Kujambha, / those enemies of the gods, fought with blows of rocks, spears, and stones. / And those two, Pāka and Indradamana, and the mighty Kārtasvana, / crushed the Pramatha host out of a desire to exact vengeance. / Having checked their speed, the Pramathas too, haughty, / holding rocks and trees in their hands, all rushed against the Dānavas. / But of the Gaṇa lords and the gods in that exceedingly terrifying battle, / the sounds of bows and the frightful sounds of chariots were heard. / Some intent on the victory of the Pramathas, and likewise others [intent on that] of the Dānavas, / made a dreadful tumult and partisan shouts in the sky. / The sound of the armies roaring and charging was / like that of oceans roaring and rushing at the dissolution. / And Siddhas, Gandharvas, and Cāraṇas, intoxicated by the excellence of the battle, / shouted and cast down various heaps of flowers. / Various kinds of flowers falling shone forth / when released by the Siddhas and Cāraṇas, like stars at the dissolution. / The musical instruments of the gods and Gandharvas sounded repeatedly, / and ceased again and again as their minds were riveted upon the battle. / But Jambha, remembering in the battle his defeat by Vināyaka, / charged angrily at him, like an elephant against another elephant.
