Dhumralochana Vadha

तत्परित्राणदः कश्चिद्यदि वोत्तिष्ठतेऽपरः । स हन्तव्योऽमरो वापि यक्षो गन्धर्व एव वा ॥ ५ ॥

tatparitrāṇadaḥ kaśhchidyadi vottiṣhṭhate’paraḥ sa hantavyo’maro vāpi yakṣho gandharva eva vā

Translation

If anyone else rises to protect her, whether god, yaksha or gandharva, he must be killed."

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

यदि उसकी रक्षा के लिए कोई और खड़ा हो, वह देवता, यक्ष या गंधर्व ही क्यों न हो, उसे मार डालना।"

Commentary

Shumbha assumes she needs protectors. He does not yet understand that she is the protector of all.
