durātmaṃstiṣṭha tiṣṭheti vyājahārāmbikā yadā /
tadā jayetyabhihitaṃ devairākāśasaṃsthitaiḥ //
Beholding him approaching, the goddess sounded her conch, and made her bow also give forth from its string a note which was exceedingly hard to endure. And she filled all regions with the clanging of her bell, which caused the vigour of all the Daitya hosts to die away. Then her lion filled the heaven, the earth and the ten regions of the sky with loud roars, which checked the copious flow of the exudation from the demons’ rutting elephants. Kālī springing upward then struck the heaven and the earth with both her hands; the boom thereof drowned those previous sounds. Śivadūti[2] uttered a loud inauspicious laugh. At those sounds the Asuras trembled;[3] Śumbha gave way to utmost rage. When Ambikā cried out “Stand, O evil-souled! stand!” the gods who had taken their stations in the air then called to her, “Be thou victorious!”
