Sanatkumāra said: / Addressed in this manner, O best of brahmins, like elephants prodded by goads, / they all turned back again, heavily covered with shame. / With their lotus faces concealed by umbrellas, their faces pale and filled with shame, / they could not stand before the face of that king, like small, distressed fish in water before a Timi whale. / Thus ends the eighty-second chapter, named 'The Rebuking of the Asuras,' in the battle [section] of the Skandapurāṇa.
