भण्डासुरवधोत्तरकृत्य-देवस्तुति
Aftermath of Bhaṇḍāsura’s Slaying and the Gods’ Hymn to Lalitā
यो भण्डदैत्यस्य दुराशयस्य मित्रं स लोकत्रयधूमकेतुः / श्रीकण्ठपुत्रैण रणे हतश्चेत्प्राणप्रतिष्ठैव तदा भवेन्नः
yo bhaṇḍadaityasya durāśayasya mitraṃ sa lokatrayadhūmaketuḥ / śrīkaṇṭhaputraiṇa raṇe hataścetprāṇapratiṣṭhaiva tadā bhavennaḥ
That Taraka, friend of the evil Bhanda, is a scourge to the three worlds. Only if he is slain in battle by Shiva's son will our lives be secure.
