In her fury, Kali hath done this in the battlefield.41.
PAURI
Both the armies are facing each other and the blood is dripping from the tips of arrows.
Pulling the sharp swords, they have been washed with blood.
The heavenly damsels (houris), surrounding Sranwat Beej, are standing
Like the brides surrounding the bridegroom in order to see him.42.
The drummer beat the trumpet and armies attacked each other.
(The knights) danced naked with sharp swords in their hands
With their hands they pulled the naked sword and caused their dance.
These devourers of meat were struck on the bodies of the warriors.
The nights of agony have come for the men and horses.
The Yoginis have come together speedily in order to drink the blood.
They told the story of their repulsion before the king Sumbh.
The drops of blood (of Sranwat Beej) could not fall on the earth.
Kali destroyed all the manifestations of (Sranwat Beej) in the battlefield.
The last moments of death came over the heads of many fighters.
The brave fighters could not even be recognized by their mothers, who gave birth to them.43.
Sumbh heard the bad news about the death of Sranwat Beej
And that none could withstand the marching Durga in the battlefield.
Many brave fighters with matted hair got up saing
That drummers should sound the drums because they would go for war.
When the armies marched, the earth trembled
Like the shaking boat, which is still in the river.
The dust arose with the hooves of the horses
And it seemed that the earth is going to Indra for a complaint.44.
PAURI
The willing workers got engaged in work and as warriors they equipped the army.
They marched in front of Durga, like pilgrims going for Haj to Kaabah (Mecca).
They are inviting the warriors in the battlefield through the medium of arrows, swords and daggers.
Some wounded warriors are swinging like the Quadis in the school, reciting the holy Quran.
Some brave fighters are pierced by daggers and lining like a devout Muslim performing prayer.
Some go in front of Durga in great fury by inciting their malicious horses.
Some run in front of Durga like the hungry scoundrels
Who had never been satisfied in the war, but now they are satiated and pleased.45.
The enchained double trumpets sounded.
Gathering together in ranks, the warriors with matted hair are engaged in war in the battlefield.
The lances bedecked with tassels seem leaning
Like the hermits with matted locks going towards the Ganges for taking a bath.46.
PAURI
The forces of Durga and demons are piercing each other like sharp thorns.
The warriors showered arrows in the battlefield.
Pulling their sharp swords, they chop the limbs.
When the forces met, at first there was war with swords.47.
PAURI
The forces came in great numbers and the ranks of warriors marched forward
They pulled their sharp swords from their scabbards.
With the blazing of the war, the great egoist warriors shouted loudly.
The pieces of head, trunk and arms look like garden-flowers.
And (the bodies) appear like the trees of sandalwood cut and sawed by the carpenters.48.
When the trumpet, enveloped by the hide of a donkey, was beaten, both the forces faced each other.
Looking at the warriors, Durga pointedly shot her arrows on the brave fighters.
The warriors on foot were killed, the elephants were killed alongwith the fall of the chariots and horse- riders.
