Durga Saptashati — Chapter 5, Verse 126

Devi's Dialogue with the Messenger

सा त्वं गच्छ मयैवोक्ता पार्श्वं शुम्भनिशुम्भयोः । केशाकर्षणनिर्धूतगौरवा मा गमिष्यसि ॥ १२६ ॥

sā tvaṁ gachchha mayaivoktā pārśhvaṁ śhumbhaniśhumbhayoḥ keśhākarṣhaṇanirdhūtagauravā mā gamiṣhyasi

Translation

So go to Shumbha and Nishumbha at my word, or you will go with your dignity lost, dragged by the hair."

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

इसलिए मेरे कहने से शुम्भ-निशुम्भ के पास चली जाओ, अन्यथा बाल पकड़कर घसीटे जाने पर अपना गौरव खोकर जाओगी।"

Commentary

The threat of being dragged by the hair will return: Dhumralochana tries it in chapter 6 and is destroyed.
