And began to shoot arrows like the rain-drops.16.
Like the roaring and advancing dark clouds,
The forces of the demon-king marched forward.
The Mother of the world, penetrating into the armies of the enemy,
She caught hold of the bow and arrows smilingly.17.
She overthrew in the battlefield the herds of elephants,
And chopped into halves some of them.
On the heads of some of them she struck such a mighty blow,
That the bodies were pierced from the heads to the foot-palm.
The decayed bodies fell in the battlefield
Some ran away and did not return
Some have caught hold of weapons and entered the battlefield
And after fighting have died and fallen in the field.19.
NARAAJ STANZA
Then the giant king (of war)
Then the demon-king gathered all the war-paraphernalis.
And driving the horse forward
He drove his horse forward and wanted to kill the Mother (goddess).20.
Then Durga challenged
Then the goddess Durga challenged him, taking up her bow and arrows
And Chamar killed (the general named).
She wounded (one of) the generals named Chamar and threw him down on the ground from his elephatnt.21
BHUJANG PRAYAAT STANZA
Then the hero named Biralachh was filled with ire.
He bedecked himself with weapons and walked towards the battlefield.
He struck his weapon on the head of the lion and wounded him,
But the brave lion killed him with his hands.22.
When Biralachh was killed, Pinagachh ran forward
Going in front of Durga, he uttered some inronical words.
Roaring like a cloud, he showered a volley of arrows
That great hero was filled with pleasure in the battlefield.23.
Then the goddess caught hold of her bow and arrows.
She wounded the tyrant on his head with her shaft
Who swayed, fell down of the goround and breathed his last.
It seemed that the seventh peak of Sumeru mountain had fallen down.24.
When the warriors like Pingachh fell in the field,
Other warriors holding their weapons marched forward.
Then the goddess in great ire shot many arrows,
Which laid to rest many warriors in the battlefield.25.
CHAUPAI
Those who came before the enemy (demons),
The enemies who came before the goddess, they were all killed by her.
When the whole (enemy) army was killed,
When all the army was thus effaced, then the egoistic demon-king was filled with rage.26.
Then Bhavani himself fought
Then the goddess Durga herself waged the war, and picked up and killed the warriors wearing armour.
A fire of wrath appeared from (the goddess's) head,
The flame of ire manifested itself from her forehead, which appeared in the form of goddess kalka.27.
