The swords glistened like the lightning in the clouds.
The swords have covered (the battlefield) like the winter-fog.39.
The trumpets were sounded with the beating of drum-stick and the armies attacked each other.
The youthful warriors pulled out their swords from their scabbards.
Sranwat Beej increased himself into innumerable forms.
Which came in front of Durga, highly enraged.
All of them pulled out their swords and struck.
Durga saved herself from all, holding her shield carefully.
The goddess herself then struck her sword looking carefully toward the demons.
She steeped her naked swords in blood.
It appeared that the goddesses gathering together, took their bath in river Saraswati.
The goddess hath killed and thrown on the ground in the battlefield (all the forms of Sranwat Beej).
Immediately then the forms again increased greatly.40.
PAURI
Sounding their drums, conches and trumpets, the warriors have begun the war.
Chandi, being highly enraged, remembered Kali in her mind.
She came out shattering the forehead of Chandi, sounding the trumpet and flying flag of victory.
On manifesting herself, she marched for war, like Bir Bhadra manifesting from Shiva.
The battlefield was surrounded by her and she seemed moving like a roaring lion.
(The demon-king) himself was in great anguish, while exhibiting his anger over the three worlds.
