Of what avail are the Gaṇas, gods, chariot, and arrows to Śiva in order to burn the three cities? O Vyāsa, that trident-bearing lord, of wonderful power of causing enjoyment and protection, himself went there with his own Gaṇas and the gods to burn the three cities of the enemies of gods (devadviṣ) [sa eva dagdhuṃ tripurāṇi tāni devadviṣāṃ vyāsa pinākapāṇiḥ]. [...]”.
