ततो भगवती देवी शोषणास्त्र प्रयोगतः
Thereupon, the blessed Goddess, by employing the weapon of drying up,

became fruitless, like a woman whose desires are unfulfilled upon meeting a eunuch.
अथ दैतेयराजेन बाहुसंकर्षकोपतः
Then, provoked by the Daitya king’s furious arm-pulling,
अद्रेः शृंगं सुविस्तीर्णमापतत्परिवीक्ष्य सा

अचलां सचलां सर्वां स चक्रे सुरघाततः
made all the immovable and movable beings tremble, having slain the gods.
निःश्वासवातनिहताः पेतुरुर्व्यां महाद्रुमाः
Struck down by the wind of her exhalation, the great trees fell to the earth.

अथ तूर्णं स दैत्येंद्रस्तां देवीं रणकोविदाम्
Then swiftly, the lord of the Daityas attacked that Goddess, skilled in battle.
ततो नभोंगणाद्दूरात्क्षिप्त्वा स जगदंबिकाम् 4.2.72.
Then, from afar, he hurled the World-Mother from the host of celestial beings.
