एवं च सर्वे ह्यसुराः सुराश्च शक्त्यृष्टिशूलैः परिघैः परश्वधैः । जयार्थिनोमर्षयुताः परस्परं सिंहा यथा हैमवतीं दुरात्ययाः । निहन्यमाना ह्यसुराः सुरैस्तदा नानास्त्रयोगैः परमैर्निपेतुः
evaṃ ca sarve hyasurāḥ surāśca śaktyṛṣṭiśūlaiḥ parighaiḥ paraśvadhaiḥ | jayārthinomarṣayutāḥ parasparaṃ siṃhā yathā haimavatīṃ durātyayāḥ | nihanyamānā hyasurāḥ suraistadā nānāstrayogaiḥ paramairnipetuḥ

FAQs
