The hard-edged discus of Vișņu, terrible as a stream of flame,
inspiring fear by its noise, annihilating hosts of demons,
Was not able to pierce that (Mahișa), and had its impetuous
onset warded off [by him];
But the [very] marrow of the bones of that (Mahişa), Leader of
the Foes of the Gods,
Was crushed with a blow of her foot by Rudrāṇī (Candi), who
alleviates all distress.
May that Rudrāṇī (Candi) unfailingly¹ protect you!
Notes. 1. Lit. 'unhinderedly.'
V.L. (a) svanitakrtabhayam yatra kartum na faktam. (b) The Kävya-

spelling, according to the recognized lexicons, PWB, etc. (b) sṛtivihata-
