Andhaka’s Coronation, Boons from Shiva, and the Daiva–Asura War (Vahana Catalogues)

Devanagari script

अग्रतो द्वादशादित्याः पृष्ठतश्च त्रिलोचनाः मध्ये ऽष्टौ वसवो विश्वे साध्याश्विमरुतां गणाः यभविद्याधराद्याश्च स्वं स्वं वाहनमास्थिताः

Translation

In front were the twelve Ādityas; behind were the three-eyed ones (the Rudras). In the middle were the eight Vasus, the Viśve-devas, the Sādhyas, and the hosts of the Aśvins and the Maruts; and the Yakṣas and Vidyādharas and others—each mounted upon his own vehicle.

The battle-array is a map of the cosmos: Ādityas (order/light) lead, Rudras (transformative power) guard the rear, and intermediary deities fill the center—suggesting that preservation requires both sustaining and dissolving energies in harmony.
