Shame on the servant who created this sorrow! ||192|| Going to Vaishravana, he informed him of this situation. He also told him of the harsh words spoken by Dashagriva. ||193|| Fueled by this information, Vaishravana's anger ignited like a fire. He, like a minister, shared this anger with his servants. ||194|| He declared war with a harsh sound of the trumpet. Mani-bhadra and others were immediately prepared for battle. ||195|| Vaishravana, surrounded by Yaksha warriors wielding shining swords, spears, and chakra, marched forth. ||196|| He was accompanied by elephants resembling the size of Anjan mountain, chariots resembling the color of the evening sky, horses with waving chamaras, and swift winds of victory.
