Durga Saptashati — Chapter 2, Verse 3

Mahishasura Sainya Vadha

तत्रासुरैर्महावीर्यैर्देवसैन्यं पराजितम् । जित्वा च सकलान् देवानिन्द्रोऽभून्महिषासुरः ॥ ३ ॥

tatrāsurairmahāvīryairdevasainyaṁ parājitam jitvā cha sakalān devānindro’bhūnmahiṣhāsuraḥ

Translation

There the army of the gods was defeated by the mighty asuras, and having conquered all the gods, Mahishasura became Indra.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

उस युद्ध में महाबली असुरों ने देवताओं की सेना को हरा दिया, और सब देवताओं को जीतकर महिषासुर स्वयं इन्द्र बन बैठा।

Commentary

Mahisha does not merely win; he takes Indra's throne. The cosmic order is turned upside down, with a demon in the seat of the king of heaven.
