ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ

“Reduce the great mountain of the goddess to dust and with all your strength challenge and kill her.”,

Hearing the words of the king with own ears, Raktabvija riding on his elephant and in great fury, marched away.,

It seemed that the Yama, manifesting himself is taking the demon to his destruction by fighting in the battlefield.126.,

The trumpet was sounded by Raktavija who sent forward his forces on elephants, horses and chariots.,

All those demons are very powerful, who can even crush Sumeru with their feet.,

Their bodies and limbs look very strong and large, on which they are wearing the armour, with quivers tied with their waists.,

Raktavija is going with his companions wearing their weapons like bows, arrows, swords etc. alongwith all other paraphernalia.127.,

DOHRA,

Raktavija, keeping his army in array, encamped at the base of sumeru.,

Hearing their tumult with her ears, the goddess prepared for war.128.,

SORATHA,

Riding on her lion, Chandika, shouting ludly,

Marched holding her mightly sword in order to kill Raktvija.129.,

SWAYYA,

Raktavija was very much pleased on seeing powerful Chandi coming.,

He moved forward and penetrated into the forces of the enemy and in anger moved further for his demeanour.,

He gushed forward with his army like clouds, the poet has imagined this comparison for his demeanour.,

The arrows of the warriors move as though enormous clouds are raining heavily.130.,

The arrows shot by hands of the warriors, piercing the bodies of the enemies, cross to the other side.,

Leaving the bows and piercing the armours, these arrows stand fixed like cranes, the enemies of fish.,

Many wounds were inficted on the body of Chandi, form which the blood flowed like a stream.,

It seemed that (instead of arrows), the snakes (sons of Takshak) have come out changing their garbs.131.,

When the arrows were shot by the hands of the warriors, Chadika roared like a lioness.,

She held arrows, bow, sword, mace disc, carver and dagger in her hands.,
