Vabala và Vṛtra, cả hai đều hùng mạnh, mang theo chùy và chày, đã đi bộ xuất trận, sẵn sàng xông thẳng vào quân đội chư thiên.

The verse emphasizes deliberate intent (udyata) and the momentum of aggression; it implicitly contrasts impulsive violence with dharmic restraint, preparing the listener for the moral evaluation of conflict outcomes.
Falls under Vamśānucarita/Carita (narrated deeds of notable figures) and functions as itihāsa-like detailing within the Purāṇic frame, not as sarga/pratisarga.
The gadā and musala represent blunt force—power that overwhelms rather than persuades—often used in Purāṇic rhetoric to mark tamasic or rājasic modes when detached from righteous purpose.
