तैस्तैः प्रहारैरपि जर्ज रांगस्तस्मिन् रणे देवगणेरितैर्यः ॥ जगाद वाक्यं तु सगर्वमुग्रं प्रविश्य शंभुं प्रणिपत्य मूर्ध्ना ॥ ४६ ॥

He was one whose limbs were shattered by the weapons hurled by the gods and the Gaṇas. He entered the cavern, bowed to Śiva and spoke these words haughtily.

english translation

दूत उवाच ॥ संप्रेषितोहं विविशे गुहांतु ह्यषौऽन्धकस्त्वां समुवाच वाक्यम् ॥ नार्या न कार्यं तव किंचिदस्तिविमुच नारीं तरुणीं सुरूपाम् ॥ ४७ ॥

The messenger said: I have been sent by him and so I have entered this cavern. You have nothing to do with a woman. Surrender this young and beautiful lady.

तैस्तैः प्रहारैरपि जर्ज रांगस्तस्मिन् रणे देवगणेरितैर्यः ॥ जगाद वाक्यं तु सगर्वमुग्रं प्रविश्य शंभुं प्रणिपत्य मूर्ध्ना ॥ ४६ ॥

Usually you are an ascetic. Carry on that. Thinking “Should a sage be offended?” I have observed forbearance within my tender mind. But O sage, you are not a real ascetic but only my enemy.

You are extremely inimical to the Daityas. Show your might in fighting with me. O wicked ascetic, I shall send you to Yama’s abode befitting the nether worlds.

Sanatkumāra said: On hearing these words conveyed by the emissary, the great three-eyed lord, the goal of the good, the destroyer of the pride of the wicked, the wearer of skull-garlands spoke furiously burning with grief.
