The gods saw thousands of Bhūtasaṅghas armed with tridents and spears and possessing various weapons such as staffs, bows, stones, etc. They had various missiles to strike with. They were in different guises. They resembled the destructive fire and Rudra. They were on a par with the destructive Sun (kālasūryopama). When they bowed to him and stood waiting in front, Viṣṇu saw them. [...]”.
