So I have heard in brief; tell me that again at length. What did the great yogin do, seated in the belly of the bearer of the Pināka, while that battle between the two, Śaṅkara and Andhaka, was going on — between the two commanders of impenetrable battle-arrays and mountain-arrays? "Protect, protect on every side" — O brahmin, going forth he protected the asuras who had come to him for refuge, tormented by heroic foes and even dead. Having drunk the unbearable smoke of particles for a thousand years, this knowledge was obtained from Īśvara, ever a giver of ease to his kinsmen. While that wondrous war-sacrifice of the lords of the Pramathas was proceeding thus, the son of Śilāda, unable to bear it, seeing Bhārgava's deed, went up to Maheśa. Upon Nandīśvara the lords of the dānavas rained down a fierce rain, like rain-clouds — of thunderbolts, tridents, swords, axes, discs with raised staves, stones and kaṃpanas.
