Durga Saptashati — Chapter 2, Verse 7

Mahishasura Sainya Vadha

स्वर्गान्निराकृताः सर्वे तेन देवगणा भुवि । विचरन्ति यथा मर्त्या महिषेण दुरात्मना ॥ ७ ॥

svargānnirākṛitāḥ sarve tena devagaṇā bhuvi vicharanti yathā martyā mahiṣheṇa durātmanā

Translation

Driven out of heaven by that wicked Mahisha, all the hosts of gods now wander the earth like mortals.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

उस दुरात्मा महिष ने सब देवताओं को स्वर्ग से निकाल दिया है, और वे मनुष्यों की भाँति पृथ्वी पर भटक रहे हैं।

Commentary

Gods wandering the earth like mortals is a striking image of humiliation, and it parallels King Suratha, who also lost his kingdom and wandered into a forest.
