शिव उवाच ॥ व्यक्तं वचस्ते तदतीव चोग्रं प्रोक्तं हि तत्त्वं त्वरितं प्रयाहि ॥ कुरुष्व युद्धं हि मया प्रसह्य यदि प्रशक्तोसि बलेन हि त्वम् ॥५१॥

Śiva said: Manifestly your words are fierce. Hence hasten. Fight with me if you have the might.

यः स्यादशक्तो भुवि तस्य कोर्थो दारैर्धनैर्वा सुमनोहरैश्च ॥ आयांतु दैत्याश्च बलेन मत्ता विचार्यमेवं तु कृतं मयै तत् ॥ ५२ ॥

Of what avail are the wives and riches, be they ever so beautiful, to a feeble man in the world? Let the haughty Daityas proud of their strength come. I have already thought of this and acted accordingly.
