In this way, the goddess killed the demon, who came and fought before her.
Then she penetrated into the army of the enemies by blowing her conch.35.
SWAYYA
The mighty Chandika, taking the bow in her hand, in great rage, did this
She scanned once all the army of the enemy and with terrible shout destroyed it.
Seeing a large number of chopped and bleeding demons, the poet feels in his mind
That Garuda had chopped the snakes into bits and thrown them helter-skelter.36.

The goddess killed many demons and made the strong ones weak.
Holding the weapons in her hand, she made the forces of the enemy run away.37.
The army of Mahishasura ran away and sought the shelter of its king.
It told him after running that twenty padam of the forces had been killd.38.
Hearing this, the foolish Mahishasura was highly enraged.
He ordered that the goddess be besiged.39.
SWAYYA
Listening to the words of their king, all the warriors together took this decision.
That with firm determination in the mind, the goddess be attacked from all the four directions.
With swords in their hands, and uttering loud shouts of “Kill, Kill”, the army of demons swarmed from all directions.
They all besieged Chandi from all the four sides, like the moon encircled amongst clouds.40.
Scanning the army of Mahishasura, Chandika caught hold of her fierce bow.
With anger, she waged the terrible war by showering the rain of her innumerable shafts.
By chopping the forces of the enemy, such a great quantity of blood fell on the ground.
As though the Lord-God hath created the eighth ocean alongwith already created seven oceans.41.
