ततः सिंहोऽभवत्सद्यो यावत्तस्याम्बिका शिरः । छिनत्ति तावत्पुरुषः खड्गपाणिरदृश्यत ॥ ३० ॥
tataḥ siṁho’bhavatsadyo yāvattasyāmbikā śhiraḥ chhinatti tāvatpuruṣhaḥ khaḍgapāṇiradṛiśhyata
Translation
At once he became a lion; and as Ambika was about to cut off its head, a man appeared, sword in hand.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
तुरंत वह सिंह बन गया; और जब अम्बिका उसका सिर काटने लगीं, तभी वह हाथ में तलवार लिए पुरुष के रूप में दिखाई देने लगा।
Commentary
Each time the Devi is about to strike, he changes form. The chase has a dreamlike quality.
