The wielding of the thunderbolt belongs to Indra¹; the employ-
ment of the discus pertains to Cakrin (Viṣṇu), who clave
(Hiranyakaśipu),² the son of Diti;
The use of the tridents belongs to (Siva), the Trident-bearer,
and the handling of the spear to the Six-faced (Kārt-
tikeya), Lord of the Army of the Gods;
[But] all this, because of the outrage upon the gods by (Mahisa),
Foe of the Immortals, was performed
By the foot of Rudrāṇī (Candi), bringer of happiness to the
possessors of heaven who had struggled in vain against [the
sons of] Danu.
May that Rudrānī (Candi) protect you!
