भूतप्रेतपिशाचाद्यैर्नासौ केनापि बाध्यते 5.1.36.
He is not afflicted by spirits, ghosts, or fiends of any kind.
यः पश्येच्छंखिनं देवं सोऽच्युतं स्थानमाप्नुयात्
Whoever beholds the god bearing the conch attains the abode of the imperishable.
यः स्थूलसूक्ष्मप्रकटप्रकाशो यः सर्वभूतो न च सर्वभूतः
He is manifest as gross, subtle, and evident; he is all beings, yet not all beings.
सनत्कुमार उवाच भिन्नेंऽधके त्रिशूलेन ध्वनी रुद्रस्य निर्गतः
Sanatkumara said: When the triśūla pierced Andhaka, the sound of Rudra emerged.
तत्र स्नात्वा शुचिर्भूत्वा समाधिनियमेन च
There, after bathing and becoming pure, and with discipline of concentration,
हत्वांधके त्रिशूलश्च भोगवत्या जले ययौ पप्रच्छ केन कार्येण भवानिह समागतः
Having slain Andhaka, the triśūla entered the waters of Bhogavati; it asked, 'For what purpose have you come here?'
कथयामास शूलोसौ शंकरेणाहमीरितः
That triśūla spoke, 'I have been sent by Śaṃkara.'
भित्त्वा तमहमायातो भोगवत्या जले शुभे
Having pierced him, I have arrived in the auspicious waters of Bhogavati.
शूलोक्तं वचनं श्रुत्वा परमेशदिदृक्षया बहुवक्त्रसमाकीर्णं सुप्रभं सुमनोरमम्
Hearing the words spoken by the triśūla, desiring to see the Supreme Lord, surrounded by many faces, radiant and most delightful,
तं दृष्ट्वा त्रिदशाः सर्वे शूलेशं हाटकेश्वरम्
Seeing him, all the gods beheld Śūleśa, the Lord of Hāṭaka.
तुष्टुवुर्विविधैः स्तोत्रैर्ब्रह्मविष्णुपुरोगमाः
Led by Brahmā and Viṣṇu, they praised him with various hymns.
निर्गतः शूलमार्गेण तेन शूलेश्वरः स्मृतः
He emerged along the path of the triśūla; thus he is remembered as Śūleśvara.
तत्र पापः स दैत्येंद्रो धूतः शूलेन वीर्यवान् 5.1.37.
There, the sinful king of the demons was shaken by the triśūla, mighty in strength.
अष्टम्यां वा पौर्णमास्यां चतुर्दश्यां शनौ तथा
On the eighth day, or on the full moon, or on the fourteenth, and also on Saturday,
धूतपापं तु यः पश्येद्देवदेवं महेश्वरम्
Whoever beholds the god of gods, Maheśvara, cleansed of sin,
कुलानां शतमुद्धृत्य शिवलोकं च गच्छति
Lifting up a hundred families, he attains the realm of Śiva.
शूलेश्वरप्रभावेन मुच्यते ब्रह्महत्यया
By the power of Śūleśvara, one is freed from the sin of killing a Brāhmaṇa.
इति चांधकशूलोयं यावद्भोगवतीं गतः
Thus, this triśūla of Andhaka went as far as Bhogavati.
खड्गहस्ता महावीर्या अनेकशतसंख्यया सिंहनादं मुमोचाथ पीडितस्तैर्दुरात्मभिः
With sword in hand, of great valor, numbering in the hundreds, he let out a lion's roar, though afflicted by those evil-hearted ones.
सिंहनादेन ते पापा मूर्छिताः पतिता भुवि वित्रस्ताश्च ततो देवा ब्रह्मविष्णुपुरोगमाः
Struck by the lion's roar, those wicked ones fainted and fell to the ground; then the gods, led by Brahma and Vishnu, became fearful.
असाध्यांस्तांस्तथा मत्वा मंत्रं कृत्वा हितैषिणः
Considering them impossible to overcome, the well-wishers devised a plan.
इत्युक्त्वोत्पादयामास ब्रह्मा हंसासनां शुभाम्
Having spoken thus, Brahma produced the auspicious seat of the swan.
कुमारश्चैव कौमारीं मयूरवरवाहनाम् 5.1.37.
And Kumara created the Kaumari, with the peacock as her splendid mount.
पुनः कुमारः कौमारीं पक्षींद्रवरवाहनाम्
Again, Kumara created Kaumari, whose mount was the lord of birds.
दैत्यदेहप्रमथनीं दंडमुद्गरधारिणीम्
She who crushes the bodies of demons, wielding club and mace.

Clad in lion skin, dark in complexion, adorned with all ornaments, with a body of hide, bone, and hair, the Lord fashioned Chamunda.
वटस्य निकटे पूर्वं निर्मिता लोकमातरः
Near the banyan tree, the mothers of the world were formerly created.
तत्र स्नात्वा शुचिर्भूत्वा मातॄः पश्यति यो नरः
Whoever, having bathed and become pure, sees the Mothers there.
सिंहनादोऽपि देवेन कृतो यत्र महामुने
There, O great sage, the lion's roar was also made by the god.
दर्शनात्तस्य देवस्य सिंहवत्स बली भवेत्
By seeing that god, one becomes strong like a lion.
