Of fierce desire that host to slay.

Terrific as the ruinous fire

That ends the worlds, he glowed in ire,

And his tremendous form dismayed

The Gods who roam the forest shade.

For in the furious wrath that glowed

Within his soul the hero showed

Like Śiva when his angry might

Stayed Daksha's sacrificial rite.[466]

Like some great cloud at dawn of day
