ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ

The tips of arrows penetrated in the armour like the flowers on pomegranate-plants.

The goddess Kali got enraged, holding her sword in her right hand;

She destroyed several thousand demons (Hiranayakashipus) from this end of the field to the other end.

The only one is conquering the army;

O goddess! Hail, hail to Thy blow.49.

The trumpet, enveloped by the hide of the male buffalo, the vehicle of Yama, was beaten and both the armies faced each other.

Then Nisumbh caused the horse to dance, putting on his back the saddle-armour.

She held the big bow, which was caused to be brought on order form Musltan.

In her fury, she came in front in order to fill the battlefield with the mud of blood and fat.

Durga struck the sword in front of her, cutting the demon-king, penetrated through the horse-saddle.

Then it penetrated further and struck the earth after cutting the saddle-armour and the horse.

The great hero (Nisumbh) fell down from the horse-saddle, offering salutation to the wise Sumbh.

Hail, hail, to the winsome chieftain (Khan).

Hail, hail, ever to thy strength.

Praises are offered for the chewing of betel.

Hail, hail to thy addiction.

Hail hail, to thy horse-control.50.

Durga and demons sounded their trumpets, in the remarkable war.

The warriors arose in great numbers and have come to fight.

They have come to tread through the forces in order to destroy (the enemy) with guns and arrows.

The angels come down (to the earth) from the sky in order to see the war.51.

The trumpets have sounded in the army and both the forces face each other.

The chief and brave warriors swayed in the field.

They raised their weapons including the swords and daggers.

They have bedecked themselves with helmets on their heads, and armour around their necks alongwith their horse-sddles with belts.

Durga holding her dagger, killed many demons.

She killed and threw those on the round who were riding chariots, elephants and horses.

It appear that the confectioner has cooked small round cakes of grounded pulse, piercing them with a spike.52.

Alongwith the sounding of the large trumpet, both the forces faced each other.

Durga held out her sword, appearing like great lustrous fire;

She struck it on the king Sumbh and this lovely weapon drinks blood.

Sumbh fell down from the saddle for which the following simile hath been thought.

That the double-edged dagger, smeared with blood, which hath come out (from the body of Sumbh);

Seems like a princess coming down from her loft, wearing the red sari.53.

The war between Durga and the demons started early in the morning.

Durga held her weapons firmly in all her arms.

She killed both Sumbh and Nisumbh, who were the masters of all the materials.

Seeing this, the helpless forces of the demons, weep bitterly.

Accepting their defeat (by putting the straws of grass in their mouth), and leaving their horses in the way;

They are being killed, while fleeing, without looking back.54.

Sumbh and Nisumbh were dispatched to the abode of Yama;

And Indra was called for crowning him.

The canopy was held up over the head of king Indra.

The praise of the mother of the universe spread over all the fourteen worlds.

All the s (stanza) of this DURGA PATH (The text about the exploits of Durga) have been composed;

And that person who sings it, will not take birth again.55.

The Lord is One and He can be attained through the grace of the true Guru.

Let the Lord (The Primal Lord, who known as Sri Bhagauti Ji—The Primal Mother) be helpful.

Thus the book named GYAN PRABODH (Unforldment of Knowledge) is being written.

Gyan Prabodh of Tenth Sovereign (Guru).
