7.9.45

Like autumn clouds, Daityas, do not disperse here in vain out of fear! / Turn back, you who know unrighteousness, and fight, having made your resolve! / Behold the great deed of me and my son, you lowest of the race! / I am the illustrious Hiraṇyākṣa, son of Kaśyapa, O Dānavas! / And this Andhaka is my son, auspicious, granted a boon by Brahmā. / Whatever was the prowess of Hiraṇyakaśipu, O best of Asuras, / twice as much belongs to me; behold it without apprehension! / And today, behold all these gods slain by me, O Dānavas, / if all the gods stand before me in battle! / Today, when the enemies of the Asuras are slain, the three worlds untroubled, / free from distress, you will enjoy happiness along with me as Indra, O best of Asuras! / Let there be no fear for you here today; just as righteous men stand firm, / so stand watching me and my son in battle!"
