Durga Saptashati — Chapter 5, Verse 98

Devi's Dialogue with the Messenger

मृत्योरुत्क्रान्तिदा नाम शक्तिरीश त्वया हृता । पाशः सलिलराजस्य भ्रातुस्तव परिग्रहे ॥ ९८ ॥

mṛityorutkrāntidā nāma śhaktirīśha tvayā hṛitā pāśhaḥ salilarājasya bhrātustava parigrahe

Translation

You have taken Death's power called Utkrantida, O lord, and the noose of Varuna, lord of waters, is in your brother's possession.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

प्रभो! मृत्यु की उत्क्रान्तिदा नाम की शक्ति आपने छीन ली है, और जलराज वरुण का पाश आपके भाई के अधिकार में है।

Commentary

Utkrantida, "that which causes the life to depart," is Death's own power. The demons have taken even the power over death.
