Of Gods,[649] they change their shapes at need.

Each with his legions in array,

Hither, O Prince, they make their way.

They come: and tens of millions swell

To numbers that no tongue may tell.[650]

For thee their armies will unite

With chiefs, Mahendra's peers in might.

From Meru and from Vindhya's chain

They come like clouds that bring the rain.

These round thee to the war will go,
