[...] Those who were not opposed to the Gods were saved by Śiva’s brilliance (śaṃbhutejas), those who devoutly sought refuge in lord Śiva at the time of adversity. Whether Asuras or other beings those whose collective activities were not destructive were saved; others of contrary activities were burnt in fire. [...]”.
