Translation
That the asuras' eyes were not destroyed by the terrible flashing of your sword and the dense radiance of your trident's point was because they were gazing at your face, which is like the radiant crescent moon.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
आपके खड्ग की भयंकर चमक और त्रिशूल की नोक की घनी कांति से असुरों की आँखें जो नष्ट नहीं हुईं, उसका कारण यही था कि वे चन्द्रमा के समान आनंददायक आपके मुख को देख रहे थे।
Commentary
Another poetic paradox: her beautiful face protected the very demons she was fighting. Terror and beauty, again, exist together in her.
