The sage said:— O king, on hearing that the leading Daityas had been killed, the great Asura of commendable valour ordered his invincible followers who were thrilled at the very mention of the war.
At my behest the Daityas born of the race of Kālaka have all assembled here with their armies and along with Kālakeyas, Mauryas, Daurhṛdas and others. Let them march on with hopes of victory.
After ordering the demons, Śumbha and Niśumbha mounted on their chariots and set out. Their armies too followed them like swarms of moths rising up from a mountain definitely for their destruction.
