Pushan and Bhaga, enraged, and Savitri, O lord of the people, taking up bows and swords, rushed upon Krishna and Partha; and the Rudras, and the Vasus, and the mighty Maruts, the Vishvedevas and the Sadhyas, blazing with their own splendor — these and many other gods, desiring to slay those two, the best of men, Krishna and Partha, advanced upon them with weapons of every kind.

In this is seen that the Lord Himself accepts the challenge of the whole creation. Thus the text shows the fullness of the confrontation; and the invincibility of the two will be revealed in its full splendor.
