Sprinkled with drops and sprays of blood from wounds, their white necklaces, ornaments, and garlands fallen, / with terror-stricken faces, those hosts of pramathas fled, severely tormented by the foes.
As towering white clouds in the sky, free of dust, [release] rain of fresh water, / so the sons of Diti released an overwhelming rain of arrows, terrifying in its immense velocity.
Then, resembling elephants, mountains, and clouds, possessing splendor equal to fire and the sun, / unleashing a vast mesh of pure, sharp arrows, the principal daityas struck the pramatha hosts.
Then, with [weapons] resembling iron clubs, arrows, and swords, discharged from hundreds of prime mechanical contrivances in their hands, / the gaṇas, inspiring fear in the foes of the thirty [gods], marched forth, engaging in battle.
Excellent elephants resembling mountain peaks, swift-running [steeds], and numerous choice horses, / and terrifying chariots like the abodes of the gods fell shattered and consumed at the front of battle.
Firmly gouged by arrowheads, their fine garments soaked with blood from wounds, / their eyes rolling, their life-breath and vital strength departed, Danu's sons were crushed by the hundreds.
With fallen, excellent white necklaces, earrings, diadems, crowns, jewels, garlands, and garments, / the ground at the front of battle shone radiant like Urvaśī adorned with splendid, choice jewels.
