Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 19
ते प्रगृह्ा महाघोरान् पर्वतान् परिघान् द्रुमान् विक्षोभयन्त: सलिलमुत्थितं शतयोजनम्
te pragṛhya mahāghorān parvatān parighān drumān vikṣobhayantaḥ salilam utthitaṃ śatayojanam |
毗湿摩说道：“他们抓起可怖的山岳、铁杵与树木，猛烈搅动湖水，使水柱冲起高达百由旬。手持这些骇人的武器，达那婆们扑向诸神。他们的军势有一万之众。诸神遭受惨烈折磨后，便奔逃而去，投奔因陀罗求庇护。”

Educational Q&A
When oppression becomes unbearable, seeking rightful protection under a legitimate guardian (here, Indra as lord of the gods) is portrayed as an appropriate response; power used without restraint leads to fear and disorder, while refuge under dharmic authority restores stability.
A host of Dānavas, wielding mountains, iron clubs, and trees, violently churns a lake so its waters rise immensely and then assaults the gods; after being severely harassed, the gods retreat and take shelter with Indra.
