ततो हाहाकृतं सर्वं दैत्यसैन्यं ननाश तत् ।
प्रहर्षं च परं जग्मुः सकला देवतागणाः ॥
tato hāhākṛtaṃ sarvaṃ daityasainyaṃ nanāśa tat / praharṣaṃ ca paraṃ jagmuḥ sakalā devatāgaṇāḥ

The ‘hāhā’ lament symbolizes the breakdown of negative mental formations when their sustaining delusion is cut off; ‘deva-joy’ is the return of sattva and inner harmony.
