Tell me, who else than Maheshvara is there for conferring boons upon, and once more taking them away from, Andhaka and Shukra and Dundubhi and Mahisha and many foremost of Yakshas and Bala and Rakshasas and the Nivatakavachas?
अन्धकस्याथ शुक्रस्य दुन्दुभेर्महिषस्य च॥ यक्षेन्द्रबलरक्षःसु निवातकवचेषु च। वरदानवघाताय ब्रूहि कोऽन्यो महेश्वरात्॥
