Like arrows released in the four directions, the demon's body grew, day after day. He appeared like a burnt hill, lustrous as a bright array of clouds in the evening. The hair on the demon's body and his beard and moustache were the color of melted copper, and his eyes were piercing like the midday sun. As if holding the three worlds on the points of his blazing trident, dancing and shouting with a loud voice, he made the entire surface of the earth tremble. He seemed to be trying to swallow the whole sky with his mouth, which was as deep as a cave. Yawning repeatedly, he seemed to be licking up all the stars in the sky with his tongue and eating the entire universe with his terrible teeth. Seeing this gigantic demon, everyone, in great fear, ran in the ten directions. The verses are all connected with the last phrase “seeing that form the people fled in the ten directions.” He increased in size daily to the extent of arrows shot in all directions. He seemed to hold the earth and heavens on his trident. His mouth seemed to drink the sky.
