सचर्म्मासिकरं तं च देवी बाणैरताडयत् ॥ ततो गजवपुर्भूत्वा सिंहं चिच्छेद शुण्डया ॥ ५१ ॥

She then struck him with the arrows, as he stood there with the sword and shield. He then became an elephant and struck at the lion with his trunk.

The goddess cut off his hand with her sword. The demon then assumed his original form.

He then agitated three worlds including the mobile and immobile beings. Then, Caṇḍikā of great honour and exploit became infuriated.

पपौ पुनःपुनः पानं जहासोद्भ्रान्तलोचना ॥ जगर्ज चासुरः सोऽपि बलवीर्यमदो द्धतः ॥ ५४॥

She drank the beverage again and again. With eyes rolliug she laughed aloud. The haughty Asura too, proud of his strength and exploit, roared.
