(Middle part)
Chapter 3: Killing of Mahishasura.

1.    Rishir Uvacha:-
       Nihanyamanam that sainyamavalokya mahasura,
       senani chikshura kopadhyaou yodhumambikaam.
 The sage said:-
Afterwards seeing that the entire army of Mahishasura was destroyed, A commander of their army known as Chikshura started for war against the goddess.

2.    Saa deveem sara varshena va varsha samare asura,
       Yadha meru gire srungam thoya varshena thoyadha.
 In that war, that Chikshura rained arrows at her similar to the torrential rain of water covering the peaks of Meru Mountain

3.    Thasya Chithwa thatho devi leelayeva saroth karaan,
       Jagana thuragan banairyanthaaram chaiva vajinaam.
Afterwards the goddess as if she was playing, cutoff his crowd of arrows and killed his horses and horseman.

4.    Chichedha cha dhanu sadhyo dwajam chaadhi samuchridham,
       Vivyadha chaiva gathreshu chinna dhanwa namausugai.
 Then the Goddess cut of his bow and flag post of his chariot and hit him in all his organs by arrows.

5.    Sa Chinadhanwa, viradho, hathaswo hatha saradhi,
       Abhyadavadha thaam devim gadga charmadharo asura.
That Asura whose bow was cut, whose chariot was broken, whose horse was killed and whose chariot driver was killed ran towards her with a sword and a shield.
