Et là, dans cette bataille, les autres aussi avaient des bannières aux formes variées—parmi les nāgas, les yakṣas, les gandharvas, les grands serpents (mahoragas) et les rôdeurs de la nuit.

Scene: A wide battle scene crowded with varied standards: serpent-crested nāga flags, yakṣa totems, gandharva emblems with musical motifs, mahā-uraga coils, and shadowy niśācara banners—each distinct in color and form.
