Do not grieve, my dear lotus-eyed
I will bring you joy without delay
O elephant-gaited beauty!
I am always keen to fulfil your wishes,
there is no exception to that
O dark-haired beauty, I kept quiet till now
since I didn’t want to bring sorrow to you
You watch now, I will get him beheaded
Watch him fall like grass amid the fire of Siva’s agents.
Arrogance has dulled Daksha’s senses
it is now time to end his haughtiness
When the snake comes hissing
it’s dinner time for the eagle
