Sanatkumāra said: On hearing this from his excellent son, the lord of Pramathas, the lord of the three worlds meditated for a long time. He performed an incomparable miracle by chanting Sāman songs. He laughed assuming a body as resplendent as the sun and thereby dispelled the darkness.

When the light spread, the sage Vīraka fought again with the Daityas of deformed features. He who was created by the excellent sage after swallowing powdered rock and who had fought the battle and even conquered the Pura Asura previously was immediately swallowed by the Daitya together with Nandin who carried sharp arrows, spear and swords, who was the chief of warriors and hundreds of excellent sages, the great receptacle of lores, possessed of mental and physical restraint and great courage.

That great Rudra (Mahārudra) was at once swallowed by the Daitya (demon); Then Nandī, armed with sharp arrows, spears, and swords, arose. He was the chief among warriors and even among hundreds of great sages, the abode of all knowledge, endowed with tranquility, self-control, and supreme courage.

Having witnessed this, the Lord Kapardī (Shiva), desiring battle, mounted his divine bull (Vṛṣabha) and faced the Daitya (demon) directly. Chanting a divine mantra, which had the power to counter swallowing and binding, he stood firm, ready — having strung his bow and prepared arrows as powerful as thunderbolts.
