Sanskrit Original
प्रत्युद्ययुर्महाभागाः साध्याश्च वसुभिः सह। तैर्विसृष्टान्यनीकेषु क्रुद्धः शस्त्राणि संयुगे॥ शराश्च दैत्यकायेषु पिबन्ति रुधिरं बहु। तेषां देहान् विनिर्भिद्य शरास्ते निशितास्तदा॥ निपतन्तोऽभ्यदृश्यन्त नगेभ्य इव पन्नगाः। तानि दैत्यशरीराणि निर्भिन्नानि स्म सायकैः॥ अपतन् भूतले राजंश्छिन्नाभ्राणीव सर्वशः। ततस्तद् दानवं सैन्यं सर्वैर्देवगणैर्युधि॥
Along with the greatly exalted Sadhyas and the Vasus returned to the attack, the arrows which they angrily discharged against the enemy drank a large quantity of blood from the bodies of the Daityas and of their horses and elephants. Their sharp arrows passing through their bodies fell upon the ground looking like so inany snakes falling from the sides of a hill. O_king, the Daityas, thus pierced by the arrows, fell on all sides, looking like so many masses of clouds. Attacked by the celestials on the field of battle, the Danava forces.
