देवा ऊचुः । सुरनाथान्धको नाम दैत्यः शम्भुवरोर्जितः । अजेयः सर्वदेवानां किं नु कार्यमतः परम्
devā ūcuḥ | suranāthāndhako nāma daityaḥ śambhuvarorjitaḥ | ajeyaḥ sarvadevānāṃ kiṃ nu kāryamataḥ param
தேவர்கள் கூறினர்—தேவேசா, அంధகன் என்னும் அசுரன் சம்பு (சிவன்) அருளிய வரத்தால் வலிமை பெற்றான். அவன் எல்லாத் தேவர்களாலும் வெல்ல முடியாதவன்; இனி என்ன செய்ய வேண்டும்?

None.
