The Demon King’s Council Deliberation and the Mobilization of an Army to Conquer the Devas
तेषां नैकसहस्राणि दैत्यानां तु महात्मनाम् । समितिं चक्रुरव्यग्रास्तदा दैत्याः प्रहारिणः । प्रयाणं कारयामासुर्देवसैन्यजिघांसया ॥
teṣāṃ naikasahasrāṇi daityānāṃ tu mahātmanām | samitiṃ cakrur avyagrās tadā daityāḥ prahāriṇaḥ | prayāṇaṃ kārayāmāsur devasainyajighāṃsayā ||
फिर हज़ारों दैत्य एक साथ आ गए। वो सब बड़े बलवान थे। उन्होंने मिलके फैसला किया कि अब देवता की सेना को खत्म करना है। वो सब बिना डरे अपनी सेना लेके निकल पड़े।
