At ikaw rin, O Diyosa—noong sandaling iyon, pagkalabas mo mula sa katawan—ay dapat puksain ang mga asura, na pinangungunahan nina Caṇḍa at Muṇḍa, na di magapi ng mga daigdig.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa framing)
Scene: Devī is addressed and urged to emerge forth and destroy the demon-host led by Caṇḍa and Muṇḍa—an apocalyptic battlefield moment where the ‘unconquerable’ are about to fall.
