उत्थाय च महासिं हं देवी चण्डमधावत । गृहीत्वा चास्य केशेषु शिरस्तेनासिनाच्छिनत् ॥ २० ॥
utthāya cha mahāsiṁ haṁ devī chaṇḍamadhāvata gṛihītvā chāsya keśheṣhu śhirastenāsināchchhinat
Translation
Rising, and uttering "ham" with her great sword, the Devi rushed at Chanda, seized him by the hair and cut off his head with that sword.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
उठकर, बड़ी तलवार लेकर "हं" का उच्चारण करती हुई देवी चण्ड पर झपटीं, और उसके बाल पकड़कर उसी तलवार से उसका सिर काट डाला।
Commentary
The Gita Press text reads mahasim ham, with "ham" as a separate seed syllable uttered as she attacks. Gita Press notes that the Shantanavi commentator counts one more verse here, describing Chanda's dying roar.
