Nandiṣeṇa with a pike, Somanandī with a fist, / Vīrabhadra with an arrow, and Ghaṇṭākarṇa with a sword, / Śaṅkukarṇa with a mountain peak, Prabhāmaya with a tree— / the gods cut into Andhaka like Dramiḍas into sandalwood. / Nandīśvara, the leader of the Gaṇas, struck Andhaka, the lord of Dānavas, / on the head when he had been turned back by the Gaṇa leaders. / Seeing the lord of Asuras assailed by the gods and Gaṇa leaders, / a cry arose in the army of the Asuras: 'Run! Seize!' / Then the Asuras, led by Prahlāda, rushed forward quickly; / Viṣṇu alone held back all of them who had arrived to fight. / But seeing him thus, holding a discus, valiant in the vanguard of the battle, / Andhaka, overwhelmed with rage, made a mighty rush. / Exerting himself, whether stationary, running, or roaring, / whomever and wherever he saw, him he pierced with arrows.
