अलक्षिता वयं चात्रागताश्शंभो त्वदंतिकम् ॥ स आयाति त्वया कर्त्तुं रणं सिंधुसुतो बली ॥ २१ ॥

O Śiva, we have approached you unobserved by him. That powerful son of the ocean is coming hither to fight with you.

अतस्स्वामिन्रणे त्वं तमविलंबं जलंधरम् ॥ हंतुमर्हसि सर्वज्ञ पाहि नश्शरणागतान् ॥ २२ ॥

O omniscient lord, you shall kill Jalandhara in the battle without delay. Save us who have sought refuge in you.

Sanatkumāra said: After saying this, the gods including Indra bowed to him and stood humbly glancing at the feet of lord Śiva.

On hearing the words of the gods the bull-bannered deity laughed. He called Viṣṇu immediately and spoke these words.
