18. In boundless rage and indignation, impetuously throwing up in agitation her eye-brows like curved branches, formidable jaws and incissors, her fiery eyes breathing violence; her face thus threatening the world as if she were impatient to destroy it, uttering thundering roars in great rage, she sprang upon those sinful, wicked creatures and cut off their heads with the same sword; then along with her attendants, drank the hot wine of blood streaming forth from their necks, and in over-flowing spirits, intoxicated with the excessive drink, the goddess with her attendants sang, danced, and played balls with their heads.
