Dear Sri Vasudevan, meaning: Owing to their animosity, then occurred a fierce and hair-raising war among siva and vishNu, as each aspired victory for himself. >>I THINK BOTH ASPIRE FOR VICTORY FOR THE SAKE OTHER GODS AND IN REALITY NEITHER SHIVA NOR >>VISHNU CAN THINK OF FIGHTING EACH OTHER - ONE BEING A BHAKTHA AND THE OTHER BEING >>ANTARYAMI IS THE ULTIMATE DECISION MAKER. meaning: But, then, with the war-whooping 'hum' Vishnu ruinously overpowered the longbow of siva and broke it. The triple-eyed god mahaadhEva became motionless. >>MAY BE THAT'S WHY WE CALL SHIVA 'STHANU' BORROWED FROM VISHNU(ONE OF THE NAMES OF VISHNU AS IN VISHNUSAHASRANAMA) dhEvai: thadhaa samaagamya sa rishi sanghai: sa chaaraNai: || 1-75-18 yaachithou prasamam thathra jagmathu: thou sura uththamou | dhEvai: + thadhaa + samaagamya = by gods then coming together sa + rishi + sanghai: + sa + chaaraNai: = with sages' assemblages with chaaraNaas yaachithou = appealed; prasamam = appeasement thathra = there [in that matter of wielding authority] jagmathu: = went into [state of amity] thou = those two [siva, vishNu]; sura + uththamou = gods, superior among. Meaning: Then came together are the gods, along with the assemblages and celestial chaaraNaas, and when they appealed for appeasement in the matter of wielding authority, those two superior gods, siva and vishNu, went into a state of amity. >>AGAIN I THINK THIS IS ONLY FOR OTHER DEMI GODS AND THE WORLD AROUND THEM.
