देवा ऊचुः । सुरनाथान्धको नाम दैत्यः शम्भुवरोर्जितः । अजेयः सर्वदेवानां किं नु कार्यमतः परम्
devā ūcuḥ | suranāthāndhako nāma daityaḥ śambhuvarorjitaḥ | ajeyaḥ sarvadevānāṃ kiṃ nu kāryamataḥ param
قالت الآلهة: «يا ربَّ الآلهة، إنّ هناك دَيْتْيا يُدعى أندهاكا، قد اشتدّت قوّتُه ببركةٍ من شَمبهو (شِيفا). وهو لا يُقهَر من جميع الآلهة؛ فماذا ينبغي أن يُفعل بعد ذلك؟»

None.
