Verse 18

¹³Just then, Vidura, that great sacrifice was closed in by Rudra's followers, dwarfish creatures with weapons of every kind held high, tawny and reddish-brown, their bellies and faces like sea-monsters, running round it on all sides. ¹⁴Some broke down the front hall, others the wives' hall, and the assembly hall, and the fire-priest's hall, and the pleasure-house, and the kitchen. ¹⁵They smashed the sacrificial vessels; some put the fires out; some made water in the fire pits; some broke the girdles of the altar. ¹⁶Others set upon the sages; some threatened the wives; others laid hold of the gods, those close by and those who had run.

¹⁷Manimat bound Bhrgu, Virabhadra the lord of creatures, Candisa the god Pusan; and Nandisvara laid hold of Bhaga. ¹⁸All the priests, and the assembly with the dwellers in heaven, seeing this and hard pressed by them with stones, ran off in every direction.
