When Shiva reached the place where Sati had burnt herself, he caught his trident also very firmly.
With blows of various types, he destroyed the merit of the whole Yajna (sacrifice).17.
He destroyed many kings and chopped their bodies into bits.
On whomsoever the blow of the trident struck, he died there and then.18.
When Shiva looked into the sacrificial pit and saw he burnt body of Gauri, he began to pluck his matted hair.
At that time, Virbhandra manifested himself there and after his manifestation, he began to destroy the kings.19.
He chopped several kings into part and sent several of them to the abode of Yama.
Just as with the flooding of the stream, the banks are eroded further, likewise many terrible warriors began to fall on the earth.20.
At that time, Shiva regained his senses and fell on the enemy with his bow in his hand.
Whomsoever Shiva struck his arrow by pulling his bow, he breathed his last there and then.21.
The tabors began to resound and in all the ten directions, the ghosts and fiends began to roar.
The swords glittered and their blows were showered and the headless trunks began to dance on all the four sides.22.
The trumpets and drums resounded and their sound was heard the warriors fought bravely in the war.
They collided with one another, being filled with great anger, and they were never seen again, riding on their horses.23.
On whomsoever, there was the blow of the trident, held in the fist of Shiva, he was killed there and then,
Virbhadra foutht such a fierce fight, that in great confusion, the ghosts and fiends were awakened.24.
DOHRA
The arrows, daggers, lances and other types of weapons were showered,
And all the warriors fell as martyras and none remained alive.25.
CHAUPAI
The kings, chopped into bits, were lying the cluster of trees fallen down by the blow of wind.
When Rudra, holding his trident wrought the destruction, then the scence of that place looked very queer.26.
Then the kings, forgetting the Yajna, began to run away to their countries.
When Rudra pursued them as fury-incarnate, then none of the running kings could survive.27.
Then all the kings, becoming alert, were highly activated and the musical instruments resounded from all the sides.
Then the war become more intense and the house of Yama began to be filled with the dead.28.
