PAURI
The trumpets have sounded in the army and both the forces face each other.
The chief and brave warriors swayed in the field.
They raised their weapons including the swords and daggers.
They have bedecked themselves with helmets on their heads, and armour around their necks alongwith their horse-sddles with belts.
Durga holding her dagger, killed many demons.
She killed and threw those on the round who were riding chariots, elephants and horses.
It appear that the confectioner has cooked small round cakes of grounded pulse, piercing them with a spike.52.
PAURI
Alongwith the sounding of the large trumpet, both the forces faced each other.
Durga held out her sword, appearing like great lustrous fire
She struck it on the king Sumbh and this lovely weapon drinks blood.
Sumbh fell down from the saddle for which the following simile hath been thought.
That the double-edged dagger, smeared with blood, which hath come out (from the body of Sumbh)
Seems like a princess coming down from her loft, wearing the red sari.53.
PAURI
The war between Durga and the demons started early in the morning.
Durga held her weapons firmly in all her arms.
She killed both Sumbh and Nisumbh, who were the masters of all the materials.
Seeing this, the helpless forces of the demons, weep bitterly.
