योजनसहस्रमात्रं पलाना ऋद्धिबलेन रक्षसेना त्रस्ता ।
तथापि नो चाभया प्रकंपन्ति जीवाथ दिष्ट्या स्म संशयमुक्ता ॥ ९१ ॥

yojanasahasramātraṃ palānā ṛddhibalena rakṣasenā trastā |
tathāpi no cābhayā prakaṃpanti jīvātha diṣṭyā sma saṃśayamuktā || 91 ||

The demon’s host, terrified by the might of magic power, stampeded for many a thousand yojanas. Then, though they were still not without fear, and trembled, (they cried out to one another), “We are fortunate to be alive and out of danger.” (91)
