“O mother! The horse demon Keśī blinds the heavenly damsels of Indra by raising the dust in the stables with his hooves. By shaking his mane he whips the horses pulling the chariot of the sun and makes them flee away. But let that demon horse come towards Me! My long arm is ready for him! Why are you so disturbed?”
