Sflta said: — All the demons of the fort Tri))ni'a became overpowered by the army of Siva; their bodies u ere severely injured and with teiroj* they entered into their castle. The JVamallias, tlum, hrcdce down tiieir entrance gates. By tlie pi'essiii(» of the Ikvas, they looked powerless like serpents without fangs, tlie bull deprived of its Ijorns, the bird bereft of her wings, the river devoid of its waters. They spoke disconsolately to themselves as to what they should do, si'cing wliieli their Lord Maya with his eyes looking like red lc)tus tnidressed them thus, so very unmindful. — 1-4.
