ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥

SWAYYA,

Hearing these words with ears, the warriors returned and holding their swords in their hands,

And with great rage in their minds, with great force and swiftness, they began the war with the goddess.,

The blood flowed out from their wounds and falls on the ground like the water in the cataract.,

The sound of the arrows appears like the cracking sound produced by the fire burning the needs.137.,

Hearing the command of Raktavija the army of the demons came and resisted before the goddess.,

The warriors began to wage war holding their shields, swords and daggers in their hands.,

They did not hesitate to come and have plucked up their hearts firmly.,

They withheld Chandi from all the four sides like the sun encircled by clouds from all directions.138.,

The powerful Chandi, in great rage, hath caught hold of her mighty bow with great force.,

Penetrating like lightning amongst the clouds-like enemy, she hath cut asunder the army of demons.,

She hath destroyed the enemy with her arrows, the poet hath imagined it in this manner:

It seems that the arrows are moving like the radiant rays of the sun and the bits of the flesh of the demons are flying here and there like dust.139.,

After killing the enormous army of the demons, Chandi hath swiftly held up her bow.,

She hath torn the forces with her arrows and the mighty lion hath also roared loudly.,

Many chieftains have been killed and the blood is flowing on the ground in this great war.,

The head of one demon hath been kicked by the bow thrown away like the lightning desecrating a palace.140.,
