Formerly there was an asura named Bāṇa, made proud by a fault of fate; performing the tāṇḍava dance, he gratified Śaṅkara. — "Tell (me) of the coming of a battle where these arms of mine, wielded by the enemy's hand, may be shattered by weapons and missiles." — Sanatkumāra said: Hearing that, Bāṇa worshipped Rudra with divine folded-bud hands, and having bowed to Mahādeva, went to his own house. — And he too, having enjoyed her by force, was again carried by Pārvatī's companions to Dvārakā by a divine yoga in the twinkling of an eye. — Sanatkumāra said: Having said this, she drew in a fold of cloth the gods, the daityas and the dānavas, and the gandharvas, siddhas and nāgas, and the yakṣas and the rest as well. — Then Citralekhā, swift as thought, having spoken with her friend and recognized him as Kṛṣṇa's grandson, made ready to go to Dvārakā. — Seeing him, they reported everything to Bāṇa, the son of Bali: those men were great heroes, guards of the maidens' inner apartments.
