Having in battle subjugated both men and celestials and Gandharvas and Rakshasas, Varuna, O king, that slayer of hostile heroes, celebrated his grand sacrifice in that Tirtha. Upon the commencement of that foremost of sacrifices a baitle took place between the gods and the Danavas, terrorising the three worlds.
तत्र निर्जित्य संग्रामे मानुषान् देवतास्तथा। वरं क्रतुं समाजहे वरुणः परवीरहा॥ तस्मिन् क्रतुवरे वृत्ते संग्राम: समजायत। देवानां दानवानां च त्रैलोक्यस्य भयावहः॥
