त्रासितं विविधैर्बाणै: कृतं चैव पराड्मुखम् । तदनन्तर समस्त देवताओंने उस युद्धमें दानवसेनाको अपने विविध बाणोंके प्रहारसे भयभीत करके रणभूमिसे विमुख कर दिया
trāsitaṃ vividhair bāṇaiḥ kṛtaṃ caiva parāṅmukham | tadanantaraṃ samastadevatābhiḥ asmin yuddhe dānavasenā vividhabāṇaprahāraiḥ bhayabhītā kṛtvā raṇabhūmeḥ vimukhīkṛtā ||
