Eradication of the Asuras

Having been summoned and invoked
I reach with my ten arms
In all directions
Cardinally, ordinally, above, and below

I am she
Imbued with the power of the Devas
Wielder of the trident of Shiva
The Sudarshan Chakra of Vishnu

Holder of Brahma's Kamandala
Indra's devastating thunderbolt
Vayu's bow and quiver
With infinite arrows

Brandishing Varuna's conch
Agni's burning spear
And Yama's sword
Swinging Vishwakarma's hammer
Of the bones of Dadhichi
Emitting Surya's blinding rays

I cut down my enemy's army
I alone stand to face him
He who is lion, elephant
Snake, and buffalo

With my trident
The death blow is struck
Beyond resuscitation
My discus decapitates
I bid farewell for a future time

The need is now
We appeal to you
O' great mother
The one who brings the end
In terrifying form

Who is beyond defeat
The unassailable one
She who dwells
In the Vindhya Mountains

We woeful beings
On war-torn land
Greed and lust for power dominates
Suppressed is the sacred feminine
O' Mahishasuramardini, do return
