The Demon King’s Council Deliberation and the Mobilization of an Army to Conquer the Devas
लोकपालैर्जितैः सर्वैस्तथैव मरुतां गणैः । नागैर्विद्याधरैः सिद्धैर्गन्धर्वैः सर्वतो जितैः । रुद्रैर्वसुभिरादित्यैस्त्वमेवेन्द्रो भविष्यसि ॥
lokapālair jitaiḥ sarvais tathaiva marutāṁ gaṇaiḥ | nāgair vidyādharaiḥ siddhair gandharvaiḥ sarvato jitaiḥ | rudrair vasubhir ādityais tvam evendro bhaviṣyasi ||
तुमने दुनिया के सब रक्षक हरा दिए हैं। मरुत, नाग, सिद्ध, गंधर्व, सब तुम्हारे आगे झुक गए। रुद्र, वसु, आदित्य भी तुम्हारे काबू में आ गए। अब तुम ही इंद्र बनोगे।
