(This too is a triad of verses)
May that Ambikā, the Mother, protect you! She who, accompanied by the gods—or, even while bestowing conciliation—fought, waged war, with the enemy for the protection of the virtuous, for the preservation of good people. Of what sort is the Goddess? Radiant, gleaming with a sword. With what sort [of sword]? With one that removes the battle-fatigue, the sorrow arising from battle, of the gods, the immortals—that is, possessing the nature of destroying the anguish of combat. // 11
