Prayer to Śiva - Verse 4

Sūta said:: Vīrabhadra was the terrible form of himself and the cause of the great Dissolution. Immediately he came smiling in front of[1] the lord at the head of the Gaṇas. He was surrounded by extremely terrible leaders of the Gaṇas who were in their crores, who laughed boisterously, who had the forms of lionlike men and who were jumping about.
