नन्दीश्वर उवाच ॥ साहङ्कारं वचः श्रुत्वा हरेरमितविक्रमः ॥ विहस्योवाच सावज्ञन्ततो विस्फुरिताधरः ॥ ३६ ॥

Nandīśvara said:— On hearing the arrogant words of Viṣṇu, Vīrabhadra of immeasurable exploits laughed and said contemptuously with throbbing lips.

english translation

वीरभद्र उवाच ॥ किन्न जानासि विश्वेशं संहर्तारम्पिनाकिनम् ॥ असद्वादो विवादश्च विनाशस्त्वयि केवलः ॥ ३७ ॥

Vīrabhadra said:— Don’t you know the Pināka-bearing lord of the universe as the annihilator? Baseless argument and disputation will end in death for you.

english translation

तवान्योन्यावताराणि कानि शेषाणि साम्प्रतम् ॥ कृतानि येन केनैव कथाशेषो भविष्यति ॥ ३८ ॥

What other incarnation of yours is left still to be taken with that whatever it may be you will remain alive only in the story.

दोषं तं वद येन त्वमवस्थामीदृशी गतः ॥ तेन संहारदक्षेण दक्षिणाशेषमेष्यसि ॥ ३९ ॥

Tell me the defect which has led you to this plight. With that lord capable of annihilation you will get the balance of Dakṣiṇā.

प्रकृतिस्त्वं पुमान्रुद्रस्त्वयि वीर्य्यं समाहितम् ॥ त्वन्नाभिपङ्कजाज्जातः पञ्च वक्त्रः पितामहः ॥ ४० ॥

You are Prakṛti and Rudra is Puruṣa. The semen is deposited in you. The five-faced Brahmā was born of your umbilical lotus.
