ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ

(In yellow robes) of their infatuation.(l3)

You, with the red teeth,

Destroy the apprehension of the Brahmins.

You incarnated in the house of Nand (as Krishna),

Because you were brimful with Faculty.(14)

You, incarnating as Nihaqlanki (Kalki),

Shattered the outcastes.

O my matriarch, endow me with your benevolence,

And let me perform the way I elect.(l6)

Savaiyya

Surrounded by robes, you adore your head with rosary, and wearing a heavy sword.

Your dreadful red eyes, illuminating your forehead, are auspicious.

Your tresses are flaring, and teeth are sparkling.

Your viperous hands are snarling out flames.And God Almighty is your protector.(17)

Gleaming like Sun, brave and magnanimous like mountains,

The Rajas who were filled with ego, and were flying high in pride,

The ones who were the ideals of bears and Bhairavas,

They all were decapitated by Goddess Bhivani and her accomplices, and thrown down to the earth.(18)

Those who did not care about the hundreds of thousands of (fighting) arms, Those who obliterated hundreds of thousands of brave enemies,

They, with fort like bodies, who had never lost even to (god) Indra,

Their bodies might have been eaten away by the vultures, But never retreated from the field of war,

They were cut down by the sword of Kali, and such Rajas fell flat in the fighting grounds. (19)

The ones, who possessed heroic bodies, were always ascending in pride.

Getting enthusiastic, they came to fight from all the four directions.

Those irrefutable warriors were overwhelmed from all over like the dust storm.

And those handsome champions flying in rage headed towards the war.(20)

Those demons of dusty colours and imbued in dust, and as sharp as steel, had run away.

The bodies as stout as black mountains, and, adorned with iron coats, were intoxicated.

(The poet says,) ‘Those demons in rage, who were ready to ensue a fight with God Almighty, were dashed to ground

Those were the ones who were, previously, roaring like lions in the battlefields. ‘(22)

At the apex time, which could not be envisaged, the invisible drum was beaten on the appearance of the twisted demons,

Who were filled with arrogance. Whose bodies were not abated even with arrows coming out of bows,

When the mother of the Universe (Bhagauti) looked down with irritation, all those brilliant ones were beheaded and chucked down on the earth.

All those, with lotus eyes, who did not tremble but remained alert like lions, were annihilated by Shakti.(23)

In that crucial war, (bodies of) hundreds and thousands of heroes were cut into two.

The decorative garlands were put around Shiva,

Wherever goddess Durga went, the enemies took to their heels with lame excuses.

All those, with lotus eyes, who did not tremble but remained alert like lions, were annihilated by Shakti.(24)

The heroes like Sunbh and NiSunbh, who were invincible, flew in rage.

Wearing iron coats, they girded swords, bows and arrows, and held the shields in their hands,
