Translation

All the priests and other members of the sacrificial assembly and all the demigods, having been defeated by the soldiers of Lord Śiva and injured by weapons like tridents and swords, approached Lord Brahmā with great fear. After offering him obeisances, they began to speak in detail of all the events which had taken place.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Maitreya said: In great fear, all the devatās, the assembled guests and priests, wounded all over their bodies, defeated by the soldiers of Śiva, who had been armed with tridents, spears, swords, clubs, iron bars and hammers, offering respects to Brahmā and informed him fully of the events. In the Sixth Chapter there is a description of Kailāśa. Brahmā goes to Śiva, who was sitting under a banyan tree there along with the devatās, and satisfies him with prayers. Svayambhuve normally should be svayambhuvam.
