A large army of the Danavas clad in mails and armed with clubs, axes, lances and maces, went with them. The Charanas chanted auspicious panegyrics indicative of their future victory; and they sat out on their expedition with joyous hearts.
गदापट्टिशधारिण्या शूलमुद्गरहस्तया। प्रस्थितौ सह वर्मिण्या महत्या दैत्यसेनया॥ मङ्गलैः स्तुतिभिश्चापि विजयप्रतिसंहितैः। चारणैः स्तूयमानो तौ जग्मतुः परया मुदा॥
