तत्प्रवृत्तं महाद्धं तुमुलं रोमहर्षणम। अन्तरिक्षे च भूमौ च पुनश्च गिरिमूर्धनि ॥ देवदानवयक्षाणां पिशाचोरगरक्षसाम्। पश्यतां तन्महाद्धं सर्वरात्रमवर्तत॥
tatpravṛttaṃ mahāddhaṃ tumulaṃ romaharṣaṇama| antarikṣe ca bhūmau ca punaśca girimūrdhani || devadānavayakṣāṇāṃ piśācoragarakṣasām| paśyatāṃ tanmahāddhaṃ sarvarātramavartata||
English Meaning
That dreadful and huge conflict, capable of making hairs stand on end, continued for seven nights before the eyes of the celestials, Dānavas, Yaksas, Piśācas, Uragas and serpents stationed in the sky, on the earth or on the mountain-tops.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
