Seeing the Asura, Vasudeva stood with his weapon upraised, ready to cut him down. Seeing the discus upraised and Agni after him, with the intention of burning him, Maya said "O Arjuna, come soon to me and protect me".
विज्ञाय दानवेन्द्राणां मयं वै शिल्पिनां वरम्॥ जिघांसुर्वासुदेवस्तं चक्रमुद्यम्य धिष्ठितः। स चक्रमुद्यतं दृष्ट्वा दिधक्षन्तं च पावकम्॥ अभिधावार्जुनेत्येवं मयस्त्राहीति चाब्रवीत्।
