तास्ते दृष्ट्वा रणं तं वै महाविस्मयमागताः ॥ ईदृशं परमं युद्धं न दृष्टं चैकदापि हि ॥५६॥

Seeing the battle they were much surprised. Such a battle had never been witnessed by them before.

english translation

पृथिवी कंपिता तत्र समुद्रसहिता तदा॥ पर्वताः पतिताश्चैव चक्रुः संग्रामसंभवम् ॥५७॥

The earth with all the oceans quaked. As a result of the violent battle even mountains fell down.

english translation

द्यौर्ग्रहर्क्षगणैर्घूर्ण्णा सर्वे व्याकुलतां गताः ॥ देवाः पलायितास्सर्वे गणाश्च सकलास्तदा ॥ ५८ ॥

The sky whirled with the planets and the stars. Everything was agitated. The gods fled. The Gaṇas too did likewise.

english translation

केवलं षण्मुखस्तत्र नापलायत विक्रमी ॥ महावीरस्तदा सर्वानावार्य पुरतः स्थितः ॥ ५९ ॥

The valorous sixfaced deity alone did not flee. The great warrior stopped everyone and stood in front.

english translation

शक्तिद्वयेन तद्युद्धे सर्वे च निष्फलीकृताः ॥ सर्वास्त्राणि निकृत्तानि संक्षिप्तान्यमरैर्गणैः 2-4-15-६० ॥

But the Gaṇas fought in vain with the two Śaktis. The weapons of the gods and the Gaṇas were broken and hence withdrawn by them.
