Chapter 39·The Slaying of Śaṅkhacūḍa's Army·Verses 1–45
अथैकोनचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः
Vyāsa asks what Śiva did and said on hearing Bhadrakālī's report. Sanatkumāra recounts that Śaṅkara laughed and consoled her, then, heeding the voice from the sky and skilled in true knowledge, himself set out for battle mounted on his great bull, attended by Vīrabhadra and the rest, and accompanied by the Bhairavas and Kṣetrapālas, his own equals; reaching the field in his heroic form, he shone there like Death incarnate. Śaṅkhacūḍa, on seeing him, descended from his chariot and bowed to the ground in devotion, then remounted, donned his armour, and took up bow and arrows. A fierce hundred-year duel of arrows followed. Śaṅkhacūḍa struck Śiva's bull upon the head with sword and shield; Rudra cut both away with a single arrow. The dānava's javelin was split by Śiva's arrow, his discus pulverized by a blow of Śiva's fist, his whirled mace shattered to ash, and when he charged with an axe he was felled sportively to the ground. Reviving, Śaṅkhacūḍa remounted his chariot in splendour; Śiva sounded his ḍamaru and bowstring, blew his horn, and roared, while Mahākāla struck the earth and sky, and the Kṣetrapāla and Bhairava added their own thunderous cries, terrifying the dānavas and stirring a clamour of victory-shouts among the gaṇas as Hara challenged Śaṅkhacūḍa to stand and fight. Enraged, Dambha's son hurled a spear ablaze with garlands of fire at Rudra, which the Kṣetrapāla repelled with a meteor-flash from his own mouth. The great battle broke out anew, shaking earth, sky, mountains, and oceans; thousands of arrows were exchanged on both sides. Śambhu struck Śaṅkhacūḍa down with his trident, and when he revived he assailed Rudra afresh, multiplying his arms to cover him with ten thousand discuses, which Rudra, lord of Durgā, cut down with his own arrows. Śaṅkhacūḍa then charged with his mace at the head of his army to slay Hara; Hara severed the mace with his sword, and when Śaṅkhacūḍa seized a blazing trident in fury, Hara pierced his heart with his own trident. From the pierced heart there emerged a mighty being who cried, "Stand, stand!" — and as it issued forth, Hara, laughing, struck off the terrible head with his sword, and it fell to the ground. Kālī then devoured many asuras whose necks she crushed with her fangs; the Kṣetrapāla devoured others, and some were cut down or pierced by Bhairava's weapon; Vīrabhadra destroyed many heroes, and Nandīśvara slew many oppressors of the gods. As the many hosts of Śiva's attendants thus armed themselves in fury and destroyed the daityas and asuras, the greater part of Śaṅkhacūḍa's army perished, and many of his remaining warriors, overcome with fear, fled in rout.व्यासजी पूछते हैं कि भद्रकालीका वृत्तान्त सुनकर शिवने क्या किया और क्या कहा। सनत्कुमारजी बताते हैं कि शङ्करने हँसकर उन्हें आश्वासन दिया, फिर आकाशवाणी सुनकर तत्त्वज्ञानी शङ्कर स्वयं महावृषभपर आरूढ़ होकर, वीरभद्र आदितथा अपने समान भैरवों एवं क्षेत्रपालोंके साथ युद्धके लिये गये; वीररूप धारणकर रणभूमिमें पहुँचकर वे साक्षात् अन्तकके समान सुशोभित हुए। शङ्खचूडने उन्हें देखकर विमानसे उतरकर भक्तिपूर्वक प्रणाम किया, फिर पुनः आरूढ़ होकर कवच धारणकर बाण-धनुष ग्रहण किये। सौ वर्षोंतक चला बाणोंका भीषण युद्ध हुआ। शङ्खचूडने वृषभके सिरपर खड्ग और ढालसे प्रहार किया, जिन्हें रुद्रने एक ही बाणसे काट डाला। दानवकी शक्ति बाणसे विभक्त हुई, चक्र मुष्टिप्रहारसे चूर्ण हुआ, घुमायी गयी गदा भस्म हुई, और परशु लेकर दौड़नेपर वह लीलापूर्वक भूमिपर गिरा दिया गया। सचेत होकर शङ्खचूड पुनः रथपर आरूढ़ हुआ; शिवने डमरू और प्रत्यञ्चा बजायी, शृंगनाद किया तथा गर्जना की, महाकालने पृथ्वी-आकाशको आहत किया, क्षेत्रपाल और भैरवने भी महानाद किया, जिससे दानव भयभीत हुए और गणोंमें जय-जयकार गूँज उठी, तथा हरने शङ्खचूडको ठहरनेकी ललकार दी। क्रुद्ध होकर दम्भपुत्रने रुद्रकी ओर ज्वालामाला-शक्ति फेंकी, जिसे क्षेत्रपालने अपने मुखसे उत्पन्न उल्कासे निरस्त कर दिया। पुनः महायुद्ध छिड़ गया, जिससे पृथ्वी, आकाश, पर्वत और समुद्र काँप उठे; दोनों ओरसे सहस्रों बाण चले। शम्भुने त्रिशूलसे शङ्खचूडको मूर्च्छित कर दिया, सचेत होनेपर उसने दस हजार भुजाएँ बनाकर दस हजार चक्रोंसे शङ्करको ढक दिया, जिन्हें दुर्गापति रुद्रने अपने बाणोंसे काट डाला। तब गदा लेकर सेनासहित हरको मारने दौड़े शङ्खचूडकी गदा हरने तलवारसे काट दी; क्रुद्ध होकर उसने ज्वलित त्रिशूल उठाया, तो हरने अपने त्रिशूलसे उसके हृदयको बींध डाला। विदीर्ण हृदयसे एक परम पुरुष निकला, जो 'ठहरो, ठहरो' कहता रहा — और निकलते ही हँसते हुए हरने तलवारसे उसका भीषण सिर काट डाला, जो भूमिपर गिर पड़ा। तत्पश्चात् कालीने दाँतोंसे गर्दन कुचलकर अनेक असुरोंको खा डाला, क्षेत्रपालने अन्य दैत्योंको खाया, कुछ भैरवके अस्त्रसे कटे-विदीर्ण हुए, वीरभद्रने अनेक वीरोंको तथा नन्दीश्वरने अनेक देवद्रोहियोंको नष्ट किया। इस प्रकार शिवके गणोंने क्रोधसे सज्जित होकर देवद्रोही दैत्य-असुरोंका संहार किया, और वहाँ शङ्खचूडकी अधिकांश सेना नष्ट हो गयी, शेष अनेक वीर भयसे व्याकुल होकर भाग गये।
