As they were speaking thus, that attendant of Bhava, Nandi, terrific, of yellow black hue, dwarfish, frightful, with his head shaven, having short arms, and stout, coming up to them, said (this). And the lordly Nandi, undaunted, addressed the sovereign of the Raksasas, saying.
इति वाक्यान्तरे तस्य करालः कृष्णपिङ्गलः। वामनो विकटो मुण्डी नन्दी हस्वभुजो बली॥ ततः पार्श्वमुपागभ्य भवस्यानुचरोऽब्रवीत्। नन्दीश्वरो वचश्चेदं राक्षसेन्द्रमशङ्कितः॥
