इति निश्चित्य ता देव्यो विवर्णवदनाङ्गिकाम् ।
उमामेव वशीकृत्य प्रोक्षयामासुरादृताः ॥ २९ ॥

iti niścitya tā devyo vivarṇavadanāṅgikām |
umāmeva vaśīkṛtya prokṣayāmāsurādṛtāḥ || 29 ||

Thus determined the goddesses overpowered on Uma by some potent charm of theirs, and by sprinkling a little water upon her, as they do to captivate a beast, which they are going to sacrifice before the altar, and by this spell they succeeded both to change the fine features of Durga, as also to enervate her frame.
