I wish to slay all these she-demons, who had used harsh words and had always offended you, stricking them with fists, fingers, arms, dreadful knee-joints, teeth, chopping off their ears and noses, and pulling them by their hairs; do you confer upon me this permission. O far famed lady, I shall slay them by these various means, by whom dreadful as they are, you had been distressed before.
राक्षस्यो दारुणकथा वरमेतत्प्रयच्छ मे। मुष्टिभिः पाणिघातैश्च विशालैश्चैव बाहुभिः॥ जङ्घाजानुप्रहारैश्च दन्तानां चैव पीडनैः। भक्षणैः कर्णनासानां केशानां लुञ्चनैस्तथा॥ निपात्य हन्तुमिच्छामि तव विप्रियकारिणीः। एवं प्रहारैर्बहुभिः संप्रहार्य यशस्विनी॥ घातये तीव्ररूपाभिर्याभिस्त्वं तर्जिता पुरा।
