Devi Said:

Roar, roar, O fool, for a moment. When you sill be slain by me, the devas will soon roar in this very place.'

Having exclaimed thus, she jumped and landed herself on that great asura, pressed him on the neck with her foot, and struck him with her spear.

caught up under her foot, Mahisasura half issued forth in his real form from his own buffalo mouth, being completely overcome by the valor of the Devi.

Fighting thus with his half-revealed form, the great asura was laid by the Devi who struck off his head with her great sword.

Then, crying in consternation, the whole asura army perished; and all the hosts of deva were in exultation. 

With the great sages of heaven, the devas praised the Devi. 

The Gandharva chiefs sang and the bevies of apsaras danced.
