thunderbolt

 158-163. On hearing this, Devas spoke to Indra collectively: “He by whom the three worlds have been agitated by means of a single blow, O Vasava, will instantaneously destroy the entire universe if infuriated. But we have been created by Brahma for the purpose of protection. That task of protection should be carried on always even if (our) vital airs be on the point of departure. If the universe is being agitated even as we watch and observe, fie upon the birth of heroes (like us) ! Indeed, immediate death is more praiseworthy. Therefore, O Vasava, it behoves you to resist him along with us.” On being told thus Sakra said “So be it”, and went to him along with Devas in order to make his vigour more impetuous. That fierce, impetuous and unssailable army of Devas began to bellow and roar. On seeing it Guha roared like ocean. 

164. On account of that loud sound, the army of Devas ran here and there irrationally, resembling the ocean excited and thrown up. . ...... .. 

165. On seeing Devas arrived (there) desirous of killing him, the son of Fire-god discharged from his mouth increasing flames of fire. 

166-167. He burned the armies of Devas rolling on ground. With their heads and bodies blazing, with their weapons and vehicles burning brilliantly, they appeared like the clusters of stars dropping down suddenly from the firmament. While bein- burned thus, they sought refuge in the son of Fire-god. 

168 Devas said to the wielder of the thunderbolt, “O Satakratu, discharge the thunderbolt.” Sakrawhowas told thus by Devas, hurled the thunderbolt against Skanda. 

169-173 (The thunderbolt) discharged by him, O excellent one among the descendants of Kuru, hit the right side of Skanda. On account of the blow from the thunderbolt the right side of the noble-souled Skanda split and another person wa.s born. He was youthful. He had golden armour and other equipments. He held a Sakti. He had divine ear-rings. He became well-known as Sakha He too roared in a mysteriously wonderful manner. Then once again the infuriated Indra pierced (i.e. wounded) the chest of Skanda. There also a person like him was born. He became well-known as Naigameya. The four persons beginning with Skanda roared and rushed at him. Thereupon Indra abandoned the thunderbolt. With palms joined in reverence, he sought refuge in him. Skanda, the most excellent one, granted freedom from fear to him as well as to his army.
