Adhyaya 18 — Arjuna Declines the Throne; Garga Directs Him to Dattatreya; The Gods Defeat the Daityas through Dattatreya’s Vision and the Movement of Lakshmi
गर्ग उवाच
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा देवैर्दैत्याः महाबलाः ।
आहवाय समाहूता जग्मुर्देवगणान् रुषा ॥
garga uvāca
tasya tad-vacanaṃ śrutvā devair daityā mahābalāḥ |
āhavāya samāhūtā jagmur deva-gaṇān ruṣā ||
คัรคะกล่าวว่า—ครั้นได้ยินถ้อยคำนั้น เหล่าไทตยะผู้มีกำลังยิ่ง ซึ่งเทพเรียกมาสู้รบ ก็โกรธเกรี้ยวและยกออกไปเผชิญกองทัพเทพ

Asuric nature is characterized by anger and confrontation; when called, it rushes toward conflict. The narrative sets up the contrast between wrath-driven force and the calm potency of the sage.
Ākhyāna (event narration) within the Purāṇa’s teaching stories; not pancalakṣaṇa proper.
The ‘summons to battle’ can be read psychologically: when spiritual practice challenges egoic patterns, those patterns rise forcefully (ruṣā) before being dissolved.
