Accordingly:—“[...] On seeing the force of their onslaught, O sages, the holy sage Bhṛgu poured offering in the Dakṣiṇa fire with the Yajur mantra to quell the obstructors of sacrifice. While the sage Bhṛgu was pouring the offerings, thousands of powerful demons—Ṛbhus rose up”.
According to Śivapurāṇa 2.2.32:—“[...] The remaining attendants of Śiva who were defeated and routed by the power of Bhṛgu’s mantras [viz., bhṛgumantra] fled and sought refuge in Śiva. Bowing with great respect to Śiva of immeasurable splendour they narrated everything that transpired there”.
