Suta said:—Om, O thou the skeleton of Kala and Vikala! O Chandini! O thou the destroyer of creatures! O thou the venom of serpents! O Virathanarayani! O Uma! O thou of burning hand! O Chanda! O Kaudri! O Maheswari, O thou of a huge mouth, O thou of a burning mouth! O thou having dart-like ears! O Sukamundha! O thou the destroyer of all, destroy the enemies. Khakha, thou dost look at all with thy entire body covered with blood. O goddess Manasa! Stupify all, stupify all. O goddess! thou art born in the heart of Rudra, thou art stationed there and thou dost appear in a terrific form. Protect, Protect Mam, Hum, Mam, Phapha, Tata, O thou wearing a girdle of beads. O thou destroyer of the poison of plants and enemies. O Shala! O Mala! Hara, Hara, Vishoka, Ham, Ham! Shavari, Hum, Shavari, Prakonavishare! Sarve! Vinchamegha Mile! It is destructive of the poison of all serpents.
