Durga Saptashati — Chapter 7, Verse 9

Chanda-Munda Vadha

सा वेगेनाभिपतिता घातयन्ती महासुरान् । सैन्ये तत्र सुरारीणामभक्षयत तद्बलम् ॥ ९ ॥

sā vegenābhipatitā ghātayantī mahāsurān sainye tatra surārīṇāmabhakṣhayata tadbalam

Translation

Rushing swiftly into the army of the gods' enemies, slaying the great asuras, she devoured that host.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

बड़े वेग से देवशत्रुओं की सेना पर टूटकर, महादैत्यों को मारती हुई, वे उस सेना को खाने लगीं।

Commentary

Kali devours the army. Devouring is her distinctive act: she takes back into herself what has gone astray.
