Seeing the gods approaching, the greatly splendid one roared aloud, / and rushed at them enraged, like a lion against elephants in rut. // 26
At that roar, the celestials were bewildered again and again; / even on Airāvaṇa’s temples the rutting-juice dried away. // 27
And the son of the three-eyed Lord, destroyer of the gods' pride, / loosed thousands of blazing flames upon those gods. // 28
With their luster struck down by the flames, the faces of the enemies of the asuras / became like lotuses burnt by frost in the lakes. // 29
