Shloka 19
ते प्रगृह्ा महाघोरान् पर्वतान् परिघान् द्रुमान् विक्षोभयन्त: सलिलमुत्थितं शतयोजनम्
te pragṛhya mahāghorān parvatān parighān drumān vikṣobhayantaḥ salilam utthitaṃ śatayojanam |
তারা ভয়ংকর পর্বত, পরিঘ ও বৃক্ষ হাতে নিয়ে জলকে এমনভাবে আলোড়িত করল যে তা শত যোজন উচ্চে উথলে উঠল; তারপর সেই ভয়ানক অস্ত্রসম্ভার নিয়ে দেবতাদের ওপর ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ল।

Educational Q&A
When oppression becomes unbearable, seeking rightful protection under a legitimate guardian (here, Indra as lord of the gods) is portrayed as an appropriate response; power used without restraint leads to fear and disorder, while refuge under dharmic authority restores stability.
A host of Dānavas, wielding mountains, iron clubs, and trees, violently churns a lake so its waters rise immensely and then assaults the gods; after being severely harassed, the gods retreat and take shelter with Indra.
