May Śarvāṇī protect you, driving from his life-breaths—making lifeless—by crushing him beneath the weight of her foot the commander of the Daitya army, Mahiṣa, who thus out of pride reviled, despised the lords of the gods, Śakra and the rest, who were the chiefs of heaven. How thus? "The spear raised, brandished by Śaṃkara to strike, becoming fruitless when facing me, has become a spear in my head, causing pain to my head—that is to say, extreme distress. Hari holding this weapon, the Sudarśana discus, far away from the battle, seems to lacerate my mind."
Instantly making the oceans agitated—the waves of which were tossed by creatures distressed by the blaze of the wandering Submarine Fire, and shaken— / clear again, yet once more undergoing the churning like that of Mandara, / may the Daughter of the Mountain protect you, crushing under the weight of her foot the lord of the Daityas, / who was coming forward out of pride, roaring a harsh shout harsh to the hollow of the ears. 84
