O fierce Goddess! How could those become rulers of the earth,
with hands radiant as lotuses, marked with rod, goad, discus, bow, thunderbolt, śrīvatsa, and fish,
whose hands have never formed an intimacy, in the rite of worship to your lotus-feet,
with the tips of thorns tearing them as they pluck the bilva leaves? || 13
