Into Thee, indeed, enter these hosts of Suras; some extol Thee in fear with joined palms; “May it be well!” thus saying, bands of great Ṛṣis and Siddhas praise Thee with hymns complete.
Read the commentary
These hosts of Suras : these warriors now fighting all, of them Devas,—the Vasus and others,—who have incarnated themselves as human beings for lightening the earth’s burden. They are seen entering into Thee. Some of them only call out to Thee, unable even to flee. Having discovered portents and other forebodings of evil as the war approached, the great Ṛṣis and Siddhas say’ May it be well for the world!’ and offer their prayers to Thee in full hymns.
