While they were still quaffing, R embu Chulung, one of the Rasdksa (who are the
dregs o f creation) having observed them, descended from above and joined the party.
When one o f th e Jawdias, called Chandra, perceived this, he made a motion to ffisnu
to apprize him of it. Before therefore the beverage, which the: nasofe? had applied^ to

weapons, it only increased in size, and forthwith began to assume a shape, of which
the weapons called chakra drksdna formed the head, those called lampang mang'gala
formed the two shoulders, and those called gada the rest ot the body.' The former
being now complete and o f a very terrific appearance, a ll the deities were greqtly
afraid and ran away from Sang yan g K d la ,. the'naroe o f Jhe monster,
