In the meantime, entered the battle-field, the heroic and brave Såvitra, the eight Vasu, encircled by soldiers and striking terror into the hearts of the enemies.
प्रणुन्नं सर्वतो दिग्भ्यः सिंहनुन्ना मृगा इव। एतस्मिन्नन्तरे शूरो वसूनामष्टमो वसुः। सावित्र इति विख्यातः प्रविवेश रणाजिरम्॥ सैन्यैः परिवृतो हृष्टै नाप्रहरणोद्यतैः। त्रासयशत्रुसैन्यानि प्रविवेश रणाजिरम्॥
