तिष्ठतिष्ठेति दुष्टात्मन्व्याजहार यदा हरः ॥ देवैर्गणैश्च तैः शीघ्रमुक्तं जय जयेति च॥ २६ ॥

When Śiva shouted “O wicked one, stay by. Stay by”, the gods and the Gaṇas rapidly shouted “victory, Victory”.

Then coming again the valorous son of Dambha hurled at Rudra his spear terrible with shooting flames.

While it came on, blazing brilliantly like a great conflagration in the battleground, it was immediately suppressed by Kṣeṭrapāla by means of the meteor springing from his mouth.

Again the great battle between Śiva and the Dānava was resumed. The heaven and the earth including all mountains, oceans and rivers shook and trembled.
