Routing the Pramathas, they roam proudly in battle like śarabhas attacking elephants. / If he thus continually revives the slain Daitya leaders, / whence will victory come, O Maheśa, and whence peace for the lords of the Gaṇas? / Furthermore, Śukra stands crookedly, and being a non-combatant, O rider of the bull, he is not to be slain.
