हिन्दी अर्थ
राकापति शत्रुसूदन चन्द्रमा और दिनमें भगवान् सूर्य कान्तिहीन हो गये तथा आकाशमें अत्यन्त विशाल काले रंगका कबन्ध (धूमकेतु) दिखायी देने लगा। भगवान् अग्नि एक ओर पृथ्वीपर रहकर चिनगारियाँ छोड़ने लगे और दूसरी ओर वे निरन्तर आकाशमें भी स्थित दिखायी दे रहे थे। आकाशमण्डलमें धुएँकी-सी कान्तिवाले सात भयंकर सूर्य प्रकट हो गये। ग्रहगण आकाशमें स्थित चन्द्रमाके शिखरपर स्थित हो गये। उनके वामभागमें शुक्र और दाहिने भागमें बृहस्पति स्थित हो गये। अग्निके समान कान्तिमान् शनैश्वर और मङ्गल भी दृष्टिगोचर हुए। युगान्तके समय प्रकट होनेवाले वे सभी भयंकर ग्रह शनैः-शनैः एक साथ शिखरोंपर आरूढ़ हो

SAta saidl — When the vicions D&navae began' to destiny pities full of habitation, and also the hermitages, the whole world. was dismayed with horror. ' The DAnavas traversing the skies and roaring like lions, thus frightened living creatures, plunged the world into darkness and despair. — 1-2. Seeing the chaos thus created by them, the Adityas, Yasns, SAdhyas, Devas, Pitris, Maruts, shuddered with terror and went to BrabmA for protection. They all saluted the Deity with four heads seated on His golden lotus throne and said: — " O' Lord of Lords! O Sinless One! the DAnavas residing in Tripura castles protected by your blessings, are causing us great pain; pray, therefore, be pleased to give them good counsels. O PitAmaha! we are flying from them like the geese at the approach of clouds and the deer at the approach of a lion. 0, Pious One! we are so much confused by our troubles that we have forgotten even the names of our better halves and sons, etc. The DAnavas blinded by greed and delusion have broken the dwellings of the Devas and the hermitages of the anchorites and are travelling all over the world. If you do not come readily to the rescue of the distressed, all this universe will become devoid of habitation, as well as of men, Devas and Risis." — 3-9.
