हते त्वयि दुराधर्षे मया दैवतकंटके । स्वंस्वं स्थानं प्रपद्यंतां सिद्धा साध्या मरुद्गणाः
hate tvayi durādharṣe mayā daivatakaṃṭake | svaṃsvaṃ sthānaṃ prapadyaṃtāṃ siddhā sādhyā marudgaṇāḥ
„Wenn du, schwer zu bezwingen, ein Dorn für die Götter, von mir erschlagen bist, dann mögen die Siddhas, die Sādhyas und die Scharen der Maruts ein jeder an seinen eigenen rechten Ort zurückkehren.“
Devī (continuing speech contextually from the prior verse)
Tirtha: Setukṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis / tīrtha audience
Scene: Devī declares that once Mahīṣāsura is slain, Siddhas, Sādhyas, and Maruts will return to their abodes—cosmic calm after storm.
