The Lord of the world, in order to lighten the burden of the earth, brought about this war.,

Wearing their armour and holding daggers in their hands, the warriors seemed like luster of lightning.,
The forces of the demons were gushing out on the inimical gods like the dark colours.62.,

They went to the city of goods and besieged Indra, the king of gods.63.,
SWAYYA,
Opening all the gates and portals of the citadel, the army of Indra, the enemy of demons marched outside.,
All of them assembled in the battlefield and the army of the enemy, seeing the army of Indra, trembled like a leaf.,
The elephants and horses tall trees and the warriors on foot and on chariots move like fruit, flowers and buds.,
In order to destroy the clouds-like forces of Sumbh, Indra came forward like mighty wind-god.64.,

As though the warriors, at the time of taking bath in Saraswati river are removing various types of their sins.67.,
