Sanskrit Original
सोमो गदां धनेशश च दण्डं दण्डभृतां वरः। ईशानश च तथा शूलं तीव्रमुद्यम्य संस्थितः।।
somo gadāṃ dhaneśaś ca daṇḍaṃ daṇḍabhṛtāṃ varaḥ| īśānaś ca tathā śūlaṃ tīvramudyamya saṃsthitaḥ||
The following persons lifted up their respective weapons (but could not use them): Soma (Moon) lifted up his iron club and stood (motionless). Dhaneśa the most excellent among staff-bearers lifted up his staff (and stood motionless). Similarly, Īśāna lifted up his sharp trident and stood motionless; the Rudras too lifted the trident; the Ādityas their threshing rod and the Vasus their Mudgara (iron-club). But all these heaven-dwellers were immediately rendered stunned and motionless by the lord.
