not; amrsyan—tolerated; asurah—all the demons: rdjan—O King:
mrdhe—in the fight; vrtra-purahsarah—headed by Vrtrasura.

TRANSLATION
O King, when all the asuras came onto the battlefield, headed by

Vrtrasura, they saw King Indra carrying the thunderbolt and sur-
rounded by the Rudras, Vasus, Adityas, ASvini-kumaras, Pitas,
Vahnis, Maruts, Rbhus, Sadhyas and Visvadevas. Surrounded by
his company, Indra shone so brightly that his effulgence was
intolerable to the demons.
