Hearing that Rudra had assumed that form for performing dreadful deeds, the Danavas, filled with joy, began to come towards him quickly, showering huge rocks upon him as they came, and burning brands of wood, and various kinds of terrible weapons made of iron cach sharp as of a razor.
तद्रूपधारिणं रुद्रं रौद्रकर्मचिकीर्षया।॥ निशम्य दानवाः सर्वे हृष्टाः समभिदुद्रुवुः। अश्मभिश्चाभ्यवर्षन्त प्रदीप्तैश्च तथोल्मुकैः॥
