Durga Saptashati — Chapter 3, Verse 4

Mahishasura Vadha

तस्यच्छित्त्वा ततो देवी लीलयैव शरोत्करान् । जघान तुरगान् बाणैर्यन्तारं चैव वाजिनाम् ॥ ४ ॥

tasyachchhittvā tato devī līlayaiva śharotkarān jaghāna turagān bāṇairyantāraṁ chaiva vājinām

Translation

Then the Devi, as if in play, cut down his swarm of arrows and with her own arrows killed his horses and their driver.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

तब देवी ने खेल-खेल में ही उसके बाणों के समूह को काटकर अपने बाणों से उसके घोड़ों और सारथि को मार डाला।

Commentary

Lilaya, "as if in play," appears again (as in 2.50). Her effortlessness is a repeated theme.
