5.15.3

iti śrutvā harervākyaṃ rākṣasaḥ kupito'bravīt
samarthastvaṃ yadi tadā mocayādyaiva matkarāt 8
ityuktamātre vacane mādhavena krudhekṣitaḥ
papāta bhasmasādbhūtastyaktvā vṛṃdāṃ sudūrataḥ 9
athovāca pramugdhā sā māyayā jagadīśituḥ
kastvaṃ kāruṇyajaladhiryenāhamiha rakṣitā 10
śārīraṃ mānasaṃ duḥkhaṃ satāpaṃ tapasāṃ nidhe
tvayā madhurayā vācā hṛtaṃ rākṣasanāśanāt 11

Hearing these words of Hari, the enraged rākṣasa said: / "If you are capable, then release [her] right now from my hands!" / The moment that speech was uttered, looked upon in wrath by Mādhava, / he abandoned Vṛndā far away and fell, reduced to ashes. / Then, utterly bewildered by the illusion of the Lord of the Universe, she said: / "Who are you, ocean of compassion, by whom I have been protected here? / O treasure of austerities, bodily and mental distress accompanied by torment / has been removed by you with sweet speech, through the destruction of the rākṣasa."
