Sanskrit Text

अथ देवगणं सर्वं संभ्रान्तेन्द्रियमानसम् अपश्यद्भगवान्विष्णुः क्षिप्तं सासुरराक्षसम् किं न्वत्र सुकृतं कार्यं भवेदिति विचिन्तयन्

English Translation

Vishnu saw all the gods and Asuras and Rakshasas to be greatly troubled in mind. He thought of what should be done under the circumstances. Without being able to bear that challenge regarding the hurling of the dart, he directed his eyes towards Skanda, the son of the Fire-god.
