Durga Saptashati — Chapter 2, Verse 56

Mahishasura Sainya Vadha

खड्गादिभिश्च शतशो निजघान महासुरान् । पातयामास चैवान्यान् घण्टास्वनविमोहितान् ॥ ५६ ॥

khaḍgādibhiśhcha śhataśho nijaghāna mahāsurān pātayāmāsa chaivānyān ghaṇṭāsvanavimohitān

Translation

and with her sword and other weapons, slew hundreds of great asuras, and felled others stunned by the sound of her bell.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

और खड्ग आदि से सैकड़ों महादैत्यों का संहार किया, और दूसरों को घंटे के नाद से मूर्च्छित करके गिरा दिया।

Commentary

The bell from Indra's elephant (2.22) now stuns the demons. In temple worship the bell is rung to drive away negative forces, an echo of this verse.
