Devishataka 55

55

Fully bringing forth purity in the heart, you shine, resplendent; / you shook the army, the host of the enemies, the foes. (55) / (Apparent Tautology [punaruktavadābhāsa]) / Kāvyamālā. / O Devī, you shine, you appear splendid, in the heart, in the mind free from the defilement of passion (rajas). Having done what? Fully, duly revealing, making manifest the quality of mind which is purity (sattva). Likewise, you shook, caused to tremble, the army, the battle-host belonging to enemies, to adversaries—a potent army with its leaders. Because 'bhāsi' and 'virājase', 'dviṣām' and 'arīṇām', 'senām' and 'vāhinīm', and 'udakam' and 'payaḥ' appear to be synonymous, this is an apparent tautology, though not an actual repetition. (55)
