Translation

"Sent by the lord of the daityas, mighty yourself and surrounded by an army, if you take me by force like this, what can I do to you?"

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

"तुम्हें दैत्यराज ने भेजा है, तुम स्वयं बलवान हो और विशाल सेना से घिरे हो; ऐसे में यदि तुम मुझे बलपूर्वक ले चलोगे, तो मैं तुम्हारा क्या कर सकती हूँ?"

Commentary

The Devi's reply is gentle irony, pretending to be helpless, exactly as with the messenger.
