Bhaṇḍāsurāhaṅkāra
The Mustering of the Daitya Forces and the Roar of War
इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डमहापुराणे उत्तरभागे हयग्रीवागस्त्यसंवादे ललितोपाख्याने भण्डासुराहङ्कारो नामैकविंशो ऽध्यायः अथ श्रीललितासेनानिस्साणप्रतिनिस्वनः / उच्चचालसुरेन्द्राणां योद्धतो दुन्दुभिध्वनिः
iti śrībrahmāṇḍamahāpurāṇe uttarabhāge hayagrīvāgastyasaṃvāde lalitopākhyāne bhaṇḍāsurāhaṅkāro nāmaikaviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ atha śrīlalitāsenānissāṇapratinisvanaḥ / uccacālasurendrāṇāṃ yoddhato dundubhidhvaniḥ
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the Uttara section, in the dialogue of Hayagrīva and Agastya, within the Lalitā narrative, begins the twenty-first chapter called “Bhaṇḍāsura’s Arrogance.” Then rose the resounding ‘sāṇa’ reverberation of Śrī Lalitā’s commanders, and the thunder of dundubhi war-drums of the Deva kings as they fought.
