ऋषिरुवाच ।
पुरा शुम्भनिशुम्भाभ्यामसुराभ्यां शचीपतेः ।
त्रैलोक्यं यज्ञभागाश्च हृता मदबलाश्रयात् ॥१॥
1. ṛṣiruvāca .

śacīpateḥ trailokyam yajñabhāgāḥ ca hṛtā madabalāśrayāt
1. The sage said: Formerly, the two demons, Śumbha and Niśumbha, relying on their arrogance and might, seized the three worlds and the shares of the Vedic rituals (yajña) from the lord of Śacī (Indra).
तावेव सूर्यतां तद्वदधिकारं तथैन्दवम् ।

2. Indeed, those two (demons) assumed the position of the sun, and similarly the authority of Indra, as well as the positions of Kubera, Yama, and Varuṇa.

vahnikarma ca anyeṣām ca adhikārān saḥ

3. Indeed, those two (Śumbha and Niśumbha) performed the functions of Vāyu (the wind god) and Agni (the fire god). And he (Śumbha) himself took charge of the offices of the other deities. Consequently, the gods were expelled, stripped of their kingdoms, and utterly defeated.

महासुराभ्यां तां देवीं संस्मरन्त्यपराजिताम् ॥४॥

4. Deprived of their offices, all the deities were cast aside by those two great asuras. They (the gods) then remembered that undefeated Goddess (Devī Aparājitā).

5. By Her, a boon was granted to us: 'When all of you remember me in times of calamity, I will instantly destroy your greatest adversities.'

6. iti kṛtvā matiṃ devā himavantaṃ nageśvaram .
jagmustatra tato devīṃ viṣṇumāyāṃ pratuṣṭuvuḥ.
6. iti kṛtvā matim devāḥ himavantam naga-īśvaram
jagmuḥ tatra tataḥ devīm viṣṇumāyām pratuṣṭuvuḥ
6. Having thus made this resolve, the gods went to Himavat, the lord of mountains. There, they then praised the Goddess, the divine illusion (māyā) of Viṣṇu.

40. The sage said: O delight of kings, while the gods were thus engaged in praise and so on, Pārvatī arrived there to bathe in the waters of the Gaṅgā.
साब्रवीत्तान् सुरान् सुभ्रूर्भवद्भिः स्तूयतेऽत्र का ।
शरीरकोशतश्चास्याः समुद्भूताब्रवीच्छिवा ॥४१॥
41. sābravīttān surān subhrūrbhavadbhiḥ stūyate'tra kā .
śarīrakośataścāsyāḥ samudbhūtābravīcchivā.
41. sā abravīt tān surān subhrūḥ bhavadbhiḥ stūyate atra
kā śarīrakośataḥ ca asyāḥ samudbhūtā abravīt śivā
41. She of beautiful eyebrows asked those gods, 'Who is being praised here by all of you?' Just then, from her body-sheath (kośa), Śivā emerged and replied.
स्तोत्रं ममैतत् क्रियते शुम्भदैत्यनिराकृतैः ।
देवैः समेतैः समरे निशुम्भेन पराजितैः ॥४२॥
42. stotraṃ mamaitat kriyate śumbhadaityanirākṛtaiḥ .
devaiḥ sametaiḥ samare niśumbhena parājitaiḥ.
42. stotram mama etat kriyate śumbhadaityanirākṛtaiḥ
devaiḥ sametaiḥ samare niśumbhena parājitaiḥ
42. This hymn is offered to me by the gods who have been scorned by the demon Śumbha, and who, having gathered, were defeated in battle by Niśumbha.
शरीरकोशाद्यत्तस्याः पार्वत्या निः सृताम्बिका ।
कौशिकीति समस्तेषु ततो लोकेषु गीयते ॥४३॥
43. śarīrakośādyattasyāḥ pārvatyā niḥ sṛtāmbikā .
kauśikīti samasteṣu tato lokeṣu gīyate.
43. śarīrakośāt yat tasyāḥ pārvatyāḥ niḥsṛtā ambikā
kauśikī iti samasteṣu tataḥ lokeṣu gīyate
43. Because Ambikā emerged from the bodily sheath (śarīrakośa) of that Pārvatī, she is therefore celebrated in all worlds as Kauśikī.
तस्यां विनिर्गतायां तु कृष्णाभूत् सापि पार्वती ।
कालिकेति समाख्याता हिमाचलकृताश्रया ॥४४॥
44. tasyāṃ vinirgatāyāṃ tu kṛṣṇābhūt sāpi pārvatī .
kāliketi samākhyātā himācalakṛtāśrayā.
44. tasyām vinirgatāyām tu kṛṣṇā abhūt sā api
pārvatī kālikā iti samākhyātā himācalakṛtāśrayā
44. But when she (Kauśikī) had emerged, that Pārvatī also became dark and was known as Kālikā, dwelling in the Himalayas.
ततोऽम्बिकां परं रूपं बिभ्राणां सुमनोहरम् ।
ददर्श चण्डो मुण्डश्च भृत्यौ शुम्भनिशुम्भयोः ॥४५॥
45. tato'mbikāṃ paraṃ rūpaṃ bibhrāṇāṃ sumanoharam .
dadarśa caṇḍo muṇḍaśca bhṛtyau śumbhaniśumbhayoḥ.
45. tataḥ ambikām param rūpam bibhrāṇām sumanoharam
dadarśa caṇḍaḥ muṇḍaḥ ca bhṛtyau śumbhaniśumbhayoḥ
45. Then Caṇḍa and Muṇḍa, the two servants of Śumbha and Niśumbha, saw Ambikā, who was displaying an exceedingly charming and supreme form.
ताभ्यां शुम्भाय चाख्याता अतीव सुमनोहरा ।
काप्यास्ते स्त्री महाराज भासयन्ती हिमाचलम् ॥४६॥
46. tābhyāṃ śumbhāya cākhyātā atīva sumanoharā .

46. tābhyām śumbhāya ca ākhyātā atīva sumanoharā
kā api āste strī mahārāja bhāsayantī himācalam
46. And by them, she was reported to Śumbha (saying), "O Great King, there is some exceedingly charming (sumanohara) woman (strī) who is illuminating the Himalayas."
नैव तादृक् क्वचिद्रूपं दृष्टं केनचिदुत्तमम् ।

47. naiva tādṛk kvacidrūpaṃ dṛṣṭaṃ kenaciduttamam .

47. na eva tādṛk kvacit rūpam dṛṣṭam kenacit uttamam
jñāyatām kā api asau devī gṛhyatām ca asureśvara
47. O lord of asuras, such an excellent form has never been seen by anyone anywhere. Understand that she is surely a goddess, and she should be taken.

48. strīratnam aticārvangī dyotayantī diśaḥ tviṣā sā

48. O lord of daityas, that jewel among women, possessing extremely beautiful limbs and illuminating all directions with her splendor, is indeed present. You ought to see her.
यानि रत्नानि मणयो गजाश्वादीनि वै प्रभो ।

50. airāvataḥ samānītaḥ gajaratnam purandarāt
pārijātataruḥ ca ayam tathā eva uccaiḥ śravāḥ hayaḥ
50. Airavata, the finest elephant (gajaratna), was brought from Purandara (Indra). Likewise, this Pārijāta tree and the horse Uccaiḥśravas have also been acquired.

54. mṛtyoḥ utkrāntidā nāma śaktiḥ īśa tvayā hṛtā
pāśaḥ salilarājasya bhrātuḥ tava parigrahe
54. O Lord (īśa), you have seized the power (śakti) named "Bestower of Transcendence from Death." The noose of the lord of waters (salilarāja) is now in your brother's possession.
निशुम्भस्याब्धिजाताश्च समस्ता रत्नजातयः ।

vahniḥ api dadau tubhyam agni-śauce ca vāsasī
55. All varieties of jewels born from the ocean (belong to) Niśumbha. Moreover, the fire god (Agni) also gave you two fire-purified garments.

56. evam daityendra ratnāni samastāni āhṛtāni te
strī-ratnam eṣā kalyāṇī tvayā kasmāt na gṛhyate
56. Thus, O king of demons, all jewels have been brought to you. Why is this jewel of a woman, the beautiful one, not taken by you?
ऋषिरुवाच ।
निशम्येति वचः शुम्भः स तदा चण्डमुण्डयोः ।

58. Śumbha said: "Having gone, you must convey these specific words to her, words from my command. And you must act quickly so that she comes here willingly and with great affection."

59. sa tatra gatvā yatra āste śailoddeśe atiśobhane
tām ca devīm tataḥ prāha ślakṣṇam madhurayā girā

60. The messenger said: "O Goddess, I am a messenger sent by Shumbha, the lord of demons, who is the supreme ruler in all three worlds. I have come here to your presence."

61. avyāhatājñaḥ sarvāsu yaḥ sadā devayoniṣu

62. mama trailokyam akhilam mama devāḥ vaśānugāḥ
yajñabhāgān aham sarvān upāśnāmi pṛthak pṛthak
62. All three worlds are mine; my gods are subservient to me. I alone enjoy all portions of the sacrificial rites (yajña), each one individually.
त्रैलोक्ये वररत्नानि मम वश्यान्यशेषतः ।
तथैव गजरत्नं च हृत्वा देवेन्द्रवाहनम् ॥६३॥

63. trailokye vara-ratnāni mama vaśyāni aśeṣataḥ |
tathā eva gaja-ratnam ca hṛtvā devendra-vāhanam
63. All the finest jewels in the three worlds are completely under my sway. In the same way, I have seized the excellent elephant, the vehicle of the lord of the gods (Indra).

64. The excellent horse named Uchchaiḥśravas, which arose from the churning of the milk ocean, was humbly offered to me by the immortals.

65. And whichever other beings, jewel-like in their essence, are found among the gods, Gandharvas, and serpents - all those indeed exist within me, O beautiful one.

66. strī-ratna-bhūtām tvām devi loke manyāmahe vayam |
sā tvam asmān upa-āgaccha yataḥ ratna-bhujaḥ vayam
66. O goddess, we consider you in this world to be an excellent woman. Therefore, you should approach us, because we are the possessors of jewels.
मां वा ममानुजं वापि निशुम्भमुरुविक्रमम् ।
भज त्वं चञ्चलापाङ्गि रत्नभूतासि वै यतः ॥६७॥

70. devī uvāca satyamukta tvayā na atra mithyā kiñcit tvayā
uditam trailokyādhipatiḥ śumbhaḥ niśumbhaḥ ca api tādṛśaḥ
70. The Goddess said: What you have spoken is true; nothing false has been uttered by you here. Śumbha is indeed the lord of the three worlds, and Niśumbha is also like him.
किं त्वत्र यत्प्रतिज्ञातं मिथ्या तत्क्रियते कथम् ।

71. kiṃ tvatra yatpratijñātaṃ mithyā tatkriyate katham .

71. kim tu atra yat pratijñātam mithyā tat kriyate katham
| śrūyatām alpabuddhitvāt pratijñā yā kṛtā purā
71. But how can that which was vowed here be rendered false? Listen to the vow that was made previously due to my limited understanding.
यो मां जयति संग्रामे यो मे दर्पं व्यपोहति ।
यो मे प्रतिबलो लोके स मे भर्ता भविष्यति ॥७२॥
72. yo māṃ jayati saṃgrāme yo me darpaṃ vyapohati .
yo me pratibalo loke sa me bhartā bhaviṣyati.
72. yaḥ mām jayati saṅgrāme yaḥ me darpam vyapohati
| yaḥ me pratibalaḥ loke saḥ me bhartā bhaviṣyati
72. Whoever conquers me in battle, whoever removes my arrogance, whoever is my match in strength in the world - he shall be my husband.
तदागच्छतु शुम्भोऽत्र निशुम्भो वा महासुरः ।
मां जित्वा किं चिरेणात्र पाणि गृह्णातु मे लघु ॥७३॥

73. tat āgacchatu śumbhaḥ atra niśumbhaḥ vā mahāsuraḥ
| mām jitvā kim cireṇa atra pāṇim gṛhṇātu me laghu
73. Therefore, let Śumbha come here, or Niśumbha, the great asura. Having conquered me, why delay? Let him swiftly take my hand here.
दूत उवाच ।
अवलिप्तासि मैवं त्वं देवि ब्रूहि ममाग्रतः ।

74. dūtaḥ uvāca | avaliptā asi mā evam tvam devi brūhi mama
agrataḥ | trailokye kaḥ pumān tiṣṭhet agre śumbhaniśumbhayoḥ
74. The messenger said: "You are arrogant! O Goddess, do not speak thus in my presence. Who among men in the three worlds can stand before Śumbha and Niśumbha?"
अन्येषामपि दैत्यानां सर्वे देवा न वै युधि ।

75. anyeṣām api daityānām sarve devāḥ na vai yudhi
tiṣṭhanti saṃmukhe devi kim punaḥ strī tvam ekikā
75. O goddess, even all the gods do not stand in battle facing other demons. How much less can you, a lone woman, do so?
इन्द्राद्याः सकला देवास्तस्थुर्येषां न संयुगे ।
शुम्भादीनां कथं तेषां स्त्री प्रयास्यसि संमुखम् ॥७६॥
76. indrādyāḥ sakalā devāstasthuryeṣāṃ na saṃyuge .

76. indra-ādyāḥ sakalāḥ devāḥ tasthuḥ yeṣām na saṃyuge
śumbha-ādīnām katham teṣām strī prayāsyasi saṃmukham
76. All the gods, led by Indra, did not stand in battle against those (Śumbha and others). How then will you, a woman, go to face them?
सा त्वं गच्छ मयैवोक्ता पार्श्वं शुम्भनिशुम्भयोः ।

77. sā tvam gaccha mayā eva uktā pārśvam śumbha-niśumbhayoḥ
keśa-ākarṣaṇa-nirdhūta-gauravā mā gamiṣyasi
77. As I have instructed you, go now to Śumbha and Niśumbha. Do not go there, however, in a state where your dignity is destroyed by having your hair pulled.
देव्युवाच ।
एवमेतद् बली शुम्भो निशुम्भश्चातिवीर्यवान् ।

78. devī uvāca evam etat balī śumbhaḥ niśumbhaḥ ca
ativīryavān kim karomi pratijñā me yat anālocitā purā
78. The goddess said, "This is indeed true: Śumbha is powerful, and Niśumbha is extremely valorous. But what can I do? My vow, which I made earlier, was ill-considered."
स त्वं गच्छ मयोक्तं ते यदेतत्सर्वमादृतः ।
तदाचक्ष्वासुरेन्द्राय स च युक्तं करोतु तत् ॥७९॥
79. sa tvaṃ gaccha mayoktaṃ te yadetatsarvamādṛtaḥ .

79. स त्वं गच्छ मया उक्तं ते यत् एतत् सर्वम् आदृतः
तत् आचक्ष्व असुरेन्द्राय स च युक्तं करोतु तत्
79. Therefore, you should go. Having respectfully taken all that has been told to you by me, convey it to the lord of the asuras (asurendra). Let him then do what is proper concerning it.
