On seeing Śiva coming, the Gaṇas who were formerly defeated returned to fight roaring like lions. Other Gaṇas too shouted heroically and jubilantly. Well-equipped with their weapons they killed the Daityas with showers of arrows (śṛṣṭi). On seeing Śiva the terrible, all the Daityas fled for fear from the battle field as the sins on seeing a devotee of Śiva. [...]�.
