ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥

SWAYYA,

Indra, the king of gods, sun and moon all went to abide in the city of Shiva.,

They were in bad shape and because of the fear of war, the hair on their heads became of the fear of war, the hair on their heads became matted and enlarged.,

They had not been able to control themselves and in straitened circumstances, they appeared to be seized by death.,

They seemed to be repeatedly calling for help and in great suffering lay concealed in caves.73.,

When the most powerful Chandika heard the cries of gods with her own ears, she avowed to kill all the demons.,

The mighty goddess manifested herself and in great rage, she engrossed her mind in thoughts of war.,

At that juncture, the goddess Kali appeared by bursting. Her forehead, visualizing this it appeared to the poet’s mind,

That in order to destroy all the demos, the death had incarnated in the form of Kali.74.,

That powerful goddess, taking the sword in her hand, in great ire, thundered like lightning.,

Hearing her thunder, the great mountains like Sumeru shook and the earth resting on the hood of Sheshnaga trembled.,

Brahma, Kuber, Sun etc., were frightened and the chest of Shiva throbbed.,

Highly glorious Chandi, in her blanced state, creating Kalika like death, spoke thus.75.,
