"Delighted at these words of the cowherdess, the two sons of demons attempted to raise her, and, bending their heads, requested her to put her feet on them. She pressed down the two powerful demons Kīrti and Vāsa with her feet ; the daughter of the mountain also fought a great battle with them there and then, again pressed them with her legs whereby they, being hurt, fell senseless on the ground. The daughter of the mountain then crushed the two demons with her feet, and they, having lost their lives, entered into the subterraneous region. At the spot on which they fell, Devī formed a fine *hrada* or lake."
