ṛṣiruvāca
niśumbhaṃ nihataṃ dṛṣṭvā bhrātaraṃ prāṇasaṃmitam /
hanyamānaṃ balaṃ caiva śumbhaḥ kruddho 'bravīdvacaḥ //

The ṛṣi spoke:
Seeing his brother Niśumbha slain, who was dear to him as his life, and his army being slaughtered, Śumbha in wrath spoke thus—“O Durgā, who art tainted with the arrogance of strength, bring not thy pride here, thou who, trusting in the strength of the other goddesses, dost fight in exceeding haughtiness!”

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
