नन्दिना चा हृते शुक्रे गिलिते च विषादिना ॥ विषादमगमन्दैत्या यतमानरणोत्सवाः ॥ ६ ॥

When Bhārgava was taken away by Nandin and swallowed by Śiva as he had swallowed poison, the Daityas became grief-stricken and their pride and jubilation for battle became curbed.

Andhaka said: By seizing Bhārgava forcibly from our midst we have been duped by Nandin. Our bodies have been rendered lifeless.
