Devī then retired from the battlefield to a place nearby and blew the conch. Śumbha-Niśumbhas heard the sound from it, and the next moment a messenger came and told them about the fate of the army and of Dhūmrākṣa. They then sent a much greater army under Caṇḍamuṇḍas against Devī. But Kālikā devoured them all. Raktabīja, who next encountered Devī with a great force, also became food for Kālikā. Then Śumbha-Niśumbhas entered the battlefield and they too were killed. Devas thus victorious regained Svarga. (Devī Bhāgavata, 5th Skandha).
