शृण्वन्तु मम वाक्यानि देवा हरिपुरोगमाः ॥ अतारकां महीमद्य करिष्ये स्वामिवर्जिताम् ॥२६॥
Let Viṣṇu and other gods listen to my words—I shall make the earth freed of Tāraka today even without bringing my master here.

इत्युक्त्वा प्रमर्थैस्सार्द्धं वीरभद्रो हि शूलधृक् ॥ विचिंत्य मनसा शंभुं युयुधे तारकेण हि ॥ २७ ॥
Saying thus and taking up his trident, Vīrabhadra mentally meditated on Śiva and fought with Tāraka, accompanied by Pramathas.

वृषारूढैरनेकैश्च त्रिशूलवरधारिभिः ॥ महावीरस्त्रिनेत्रैश्च स रेजे रणसंगतः ॥ २८ ॥
With many heroic soldiers riding on bulls, wielding the tridents and possessing three eyes he shone well in the midst of that battle.

कोलाहलं प्रकुर्वंतो निर्भयाश्शतशो गणाः ॥ वीरभद्रं पुरस्कृत्य युयुधुर्दानवैस्सह ॥ २९ ॥
Keeping Vīrabhadra at their head, and shouting fearlessly jubilantly, hundreds of the Gaṇas fought with the Asuras.

असुरास्तेऽपि युयुधुस्तारकासुरजीविनः ॥ बलोत्कटा महावीरा मर्दयन्तो गणान् रुषा ॥ 2-4-8-३० ॥
The Asuras too, the dependants of the demon Tāraka, all equally strong and heroic, began to smash the Gaṇas furiously.
