यावतश्च गणास्संति श्रीरुद्रस्य त्रिशूलिनः ॥ तावतामपि सर्वेषां शक्तिरेतादृशी धुवम् ॥ ५१ ॥

Such is the power of everyone of the attendants of the trident-bearing Rudra.

श्रीकालभैरवः काश्यां नखाग्रेणैव लीलया ॥ पुरा शिरश्च चिच्छेद पंचमं ब्रह्मणो ध्रुवम् ॥५२॥

Formerly at Kāśī, Kālabhairava had plucked off the fifth head of Brahmā playfully with the tip of his nail.

एतदुक्त्वा स्थितो विष्णुरतित्रस्तमुखाम्बुजः ॥ वीरभद्रोपि संप्राप तदैवाऽध्वरमंडपम् ॥ ५३ ॥

After saying this, Viṣṇu resumed his seat, his lotus-face showing signs of great fear. At the same time Vīrabhadra too reached the sacrificial platform.

एवं ब्रुवति गोविन्द आगतं सैन्यसागरम् ॥ वीरभद्रेण सहितं ददृशुश्च सुरादया ॥ ५४ ॥

While Viṣṇu was saying this, the gods and others saw the vast ocean of the army led by Vīrabhadra already come there.
