भण्डासुरस्य मन्त्रणा
Bhaṇḍāsura’s War-Counsel against Lalitā
नक्तसत्त्वाश्च दैत्येन्द्रास्तिमिरेण समावृताः / इतस्ततः शिथिलतां कण्टके निन्युरुद्धताः
naktasattvāśca daityendrāstimireṇa samāvṛtāḥ / itastataḥ śithilatāṃ kaṇṭake ninyuruddhatāḥ
The Daitya lords, strong as creatures of the night, were shrouded in darkness; rushing here and there, through stubbornness they fell into disarray, as though caught in thorns.
