सनत्कुमार उवाच ।। तस्येंगितज्ञश्च स दैत्यराजो गदां गृहीत्वा त्वरितस्ससैन्यः ।। कृत्वाथ साऽग्रे गिलनामधेयं सुदारुणं देववरैरभेद्यम्
sanatkumāra uvāca || tasyeṃgitajñaśca sa daityarājo gadāṃ gṛhītvā tvaritassasainyaḥ || kṛtvātha sā'gre gilanāmadheyaṃ sudāruṇaṃ devavarairabhedyam
Sanatkumāra said: And that king of the Daityas, knowing his (Śiva's) intent, quickly took up his mace and, with his army, placed in front the one named Gila, most terrible, unbreakable even by the foremost of gods.

Reaching the mouth of Maheśvara's cave, he shattered it with weapons blazing like lightning. Others then covered Vīraka with weapons, and others the Mountain's daughter. All, together with Gila, waged a battle like the end of an age, without any limits. By the army of the Daitya lord, ever dreadful, the gods in the fray were swallowed up in its fury. "Better that your life and mine be given up in the hour of battle; you have been a witness, and were chosen for the doing of the deed even for a moment — for one who has obtained a boon does not abandon the battle." Then, his body afflicted by the terrible blows of the lord of the gods, thereupon with floods of missiles and weapons, with trees, mountains and waters, he swiftly conquered the gods, roaring aloud, and slowly summoned the Lord of the Pramathas. Then, at the battle's end, the lords of the worlds, together with their consorts, having duly worshipped the Lord of the Pramathas with hymns of many kinds — Hari, Brahmā and the rest — praised him abundantly with the highest praises, their shoulders bowed, delighted, uttering the cry "Victory! Victory!", and were happy.

यदा सैन्यासैन्यं पशुपतिहतादन्यदभवद्व्रणोत्थैरत्युष्णैः पिशितनिसृतैर्बिन्दुभिरलम् ।। तदा विष्णुर्योगा त्प्रमथपतिमाहूय मतिमान् चकारोग्रं रूपं विकृतवदनं स्त्रैणमजितम्

When army after army arose, other than the one slain by Paśupati, from the exceedingly hot drops that issued out of the flesh from the wounds, then wise Viṣṇu, having summoned the lord of the Pramathas, by yoga made a fierce form, distorted of face, female, unconquered:

करालं संशुष्कं बहुभुजलताक्रांतकुपितो विनिष्क्रांतः कर्णाद्रणशिरसि शंभोश्च भगवान्
karālaṃ saṃśuṣkaṃ bahubhujalatākrāṃtakupito viniṣkrāṃtaḥ karṇādraṇaśirasi śaṃbhośca bhagavān

रणस्था सा देवी चरणयुगलालंकृतमही स्तुता देवैस्सर्वैस्मदनु भगवान् प्रेरितमतिः ।। क्षुधार्ता तत्सैन्यं दितिजनिसृतं तच्च रुधिरं पपौ सात्युष्णं तद्रणशिरसि सृक्कर्दममलम्
raṇasthā sā devī caraṇayugalālaṃkṛtamahī stutā devaissarvaismadanu bhagavān preritamatiḥ || kṣudhārtā tatsainyaṃ ditijanisṛtaṃ tacca rudhiraṃ papau sātyuṣṇaṃ tadraṇaśirasi sṛkkardamamalam
That goddess, standing in the battle, the earth adorned by her pair of feet, praised by all the gods — thereafter, her mind urged on by the Lord and afflicted with hunger, she drank up that army and that blood that issued from the sons of Diti, still hot, there at the front of the battle, the smear at the corners of her mouth turned to mire.

ततस्त्वेको दैत्यस्तदपि युयुधे शुष्करुधिरस्तलाघातैर्घोरैशनिसदृशैर्जानुचरणैः ।। नखैर्वज्राकारैर्मुखभुजशिरोभिश्च गिरिशं स्मरन् क्षात्रं धर्मं स्वकुल विहितं शाश्वतमजम्

But then one demon, his blood dried up, fought even so — with terrible palm-blows like thunderbolts, with knees and feet, with nails shaped like vajras, and with mouth, arms and head — remembering Giriśa, and the kṣatriya duty ordained for his own line, everlasting and unborn.

रणे शांतः पश्चात्प्रमथपतिना भिन्नहृदयस्त्रिशूले सप्रोतो नभसि विधृतस्स्थाणुसदृशः ।। अधःकायश्शुष्कस्नपनकिरणैर्जीर्णतनुमाञ्जलासारेर्मेघैः पवनसहितैः क्लेदितवपुः

Stilled in the battle at last, his heart split open by the lord of the Pramathas, threaded on the trident and held aloft in the sky like a post; his lower body dried by the burning rays (of the sun), his frame worn away, his body soaked by showers of water from the clouds driven with the wind,

विशीर्णस्तिग्मांशोस्तुहिनशकलाकारशकलस्तथाभूतः प्राणांस्तदपि न जहौ दैत्य वृषभः ।। तदा तुष्टश्शंभुः परमकरुणावारिधिरसौ ददौ तस्मै प्रीत्या गणपतिपदं तेन विनुतः

broken up by the sharp-rayed sun into fragments shaped like flakes of ice — even in that condition the bull among the demons did not give up his life-breaths. Then Śambhu was pleased, he who is an ocean of supreme compassion, and being praised by him gave him with affection the station of a lord of the gaṇas.

Together with those (gaṇas) Hara, delighted, in the cave of the best of mountains, sent off... (the shareless ones?) and the good mountains to be worshipped with manifold offerings; he issued his command and made his sport, having regained the delighted daughter of the mountain-lord, and likewise his son, released unharmed from the terrible mouth of the Devourer.
