ṛṣiruvāca
tenājñaptastataḥ śīghraṃ sa daityo dhūmralocanaḥ /
vṛtaḥ paṣṭyā sahasrāṇāmasurāṇāṃ drutaṃ yayo //

The ṛṣi spoke:
Thereupon at his command the Daitya Dhūmralocana went' forthwith quickly, accompanied by sixty thousand Asuras. On seeing the goddess stationed on the snowy mountain, he cried aloud to her there—“Come forward to the presence of Śumbha and Niśumbha; if thou wilt not, lady, approach my lord with affection now, I will here take thee by force, who wilt be unnerved since thou shalt be dragged along by thy hair!”

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
