(This is a group of verses)
Likewise, by that praiseworthy and auspicious Goddess, today, on this day, with insight into truth, with knowledge of the essential reality, may an auspicious, beneficial welfare—meaning happiness—and the pacification of suffering, the destruction of the threefold afflictions (internal, divine, and elemental), be brought about for you. The Goddess who, herself prepared for combat and arrayed for battle, addressed and spoke in the manner to be stated to the gods routed and chased by hostile foes. She said how: "O gods, who are conquered and overcome, depart from the battlefield having become fearless and free from dread! Let there be no fear of battle for you. You by whom the weakness and incapacity of Airāvata, the elephant of the king of the gods, has been perceived. Moreover, is your favorable realm and abode truly not easy to attain? The meaning is that it is indeed easily attainable. And furthermore, the army of the gods, brilliant with the lord, radiant with the divine master... amidst the reasoned enemies of the mind, your prosperity..." This is a complete-stanza great chiasmus. || 32, 33, 34
