When the great leaders of the demons, who were being killed one after another, saw the unprecedented exertion of the demigods in fighting, they began to flee, scattering themselves in all directions.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

When the great leaders of the demons saw the unprecedented exertion of the devatās and were being slain, they fled fearfully in all directions to save their lives, not heeding homes, wives, children, animals and household paraphernalia.
