The Origin and Worship of Bhauma
Mars/Lohitāṅga
त्रिदशाश्च तथा क्रुद्धास्ततो विद्याधरादयः । प्रययुः समरं तत्र दैत्यानां च भृशं रुषा
tridaśāśca tathā kruddhāstato vidyādharādayaḥ | prayayuḥ samaraṃ tatra daityānāṃ ca bhṛśaṃ ruṣā
അപ്പോൾ ത്രിദശ ദേവന്മാരും ക്രുദ്ധരായി; വിദ്യാധരന്മാർ മുതലായവരോടൊപ്പം ദൈത്യർക്കെതിരേ അത്യന്തം രോഷത്തോടെ അവിടെ യുദ്ധത്തിനായി പുറപ്പെട്ടു।

FAQs
“Tridaśa” literally means “thirty” and is a common epithet for the Devas (gods), traditionally associated with the group of principal divine beings in Vedic-Puranic cosmology.
The verse groups the Vidyādharas with other celestial beings who join the Devas, indicating a wider coalition of heavenly forces participating in the conflict against the Daityas.
The verse highlights the escalation of cosmic conflict—celestial beings mobilize in response to hostility—reflecting the Puranic theme of protecting order (dharma) when it is challenged by antagonistic forces.
