दुर्मद-कुरण्ड-वधः (The Slaying of Durmada and Kuraṇḍa) — Lalitopākhyāna Battle Continuation
एकस्य नाशसमये बहवो ऽन्ये समुत्थिताः / मूलभूता यतो दुष्टा सर्पिणी न विनश्यति
ekasya nāśasamaye bahavo 'nye samutthitāḥ / mūlabhūtā yato duṣṭā sarpiṇī na vinaśyati
At the very time one was destroyed, many others arose; for the wicked mother-serpent, the primal root, does not perish.
