Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the latter section, in the dialogue of Hayagrīva and Agastya, within the Lalitā narrative, is the seventeenth chapter called “The March of Śyāmalā’s Army under Daṇḍanātha.” Then the royal commander (rājanāyikā), leaning on a blazing goad (aṅkuśa) and bearing a serpent-like noose, her bangles chiming, held the sugarcane bow and five radiant flower-arrows.
