tataḥ siṃhaścakhādograṃ daṃṣṭrākṣuṇṇaśirodharān /
asurāṃstāṃstathā kālī śivadūtī tathāparān //

The lion then devoured those Asuras whose necks he had crushed with his savage teeth, and Kālī and Śivadūtī devoured the others. Some great Asuras perished, being pierced through by the spear held by Kumāra’s Energy; others were driven back by the water purified by the spell uttered by Brahmā’s Energy; and others fell, pierced by the trident wielded by Śiva’s Energy; some were pounded to dust on the ground by blows from the snout of Varāha’s Energy; some Dānavas were cut to pieces by the discus hurled by Viṣṇu’s Energy; and others again by the thunderbolt discharged from the fingers of Indra’s Energy. Some Asuras perished outright, some perished by reason of the great battle, and others were devoured by Kālī, Śivadūtī and the lion.
