ततो निश्चलतां प्राप्तः पादाक्रांतश्च दानवः । अकरोद्भैरवान्नादान्न शक्तश्चलितुं पदम्
tato niścalatāṃ prāptaḥ pādākrāṃtaśca dānavaḥ | akarodbhairavānnādānna śaktaścalituṃ padam
Kemudian dānava itu, terinjak di bawah telapak kaki Sang Dewi, menjadi sepenuhnya tak bergerak. Ia mengaum dahsyat laksana Bhairava, namun tak sanggup melangkah setapak pun.
