ਤੋਟਕ ਛੰਦ ॥

TOTAK STANZA

All the demons were filled with anger,

When the were pierced by the arrows of the Mother of the worls.

Those brave warriors caught hold of their weapons with pleasure,

And began to shoot arrows like the rain-drops.16.

Like the roaring and advancing dark clouds,

The forces of the demon-king marched forward.

The Mother of the world, penetrating into the armies of the enemy,

She caught hold of the bow and arrows smilingly.17.

She overthrew in the battlefield the herds of elephants,

And chopped into halves some of them.

On the heads of some of them she struck such a mighty blow,

That the bodies were pierced from the heads to the foot-palm.

The decayed bodies fell in the battlefield

Some ran away and did not return

Some have caught hold of weapons and entered the battlefield

And after fighting have died and fallen in the field.19.
