अहं विष्णुरहं रुद्रो ब्रह्माहं देवराडहम् । अहं यमश्च वरुणश्चन्द्रो ऽहं रविरप्यहम् ॥ 7-6-6 ॥

'I am Vishnu, I am Rudra, I am Brahma, I am the king of the gods; I am Yama and Varuna, I am the Moon, and I am the Sun as well.'"

english translation

इति माली सुमाली च माल्यवांश्चैव राक्षसाः । बाधन्ते समरोद्धर्षा ये च तेषां पुरःसराः । तन्नो देव भयार्तानामभयं दातुमर्हसि ॥ 7-6-7 ॥

Thus do Mali and Sumali and Malyavan, those Rakshasas exultant in battle, and those who march before them as their leaders, oppress us. Therefore, O God, it behooves you to grant freedom from fear to us who are tormented by terror.

english translation

अशिवं वपुरास्थाय जहि वै देवकण्टकान् ॥ 7-6-8 ॥

Assuming a terrible form, slay these thorns in the side of the gods.

english translation

धन्ते समरोद्धर्षा ये च तेषां पुरःसराः । इत्युक्तस्तु सुरैः सर्वैः कपर्दी नीललोहितः । सुकेशं प्रति सापेक्षः प्राह देवगणान्प्रभुः ॥ 7-6-9 ॥

When he had thus been addressed by all the gods, the matted-haired Lord, dark-blue and red of hue, with regard for Sukesha, spoke to the assembled hosts of the gods.

english translation

अहं तान्न हनिष्यामि मयावध्या हि ते सुराः । किं तु मन्त्रं प्रदास्यामि यो वै तान्निहनिष्यति ॥ 7-6-10 ॥

I shall not slay them, for those Rakshasas may not be slain by me; but I shall impart to you a counsel by which one may indeed destroy them.
