Devi slaying demon Dhumralochana

Devi: Devi slaying demon Dhumralochana:

(Devi Mahatmyam - 6)

Meditation: I meditate on Devi slaying demon Dhumralochana.

Devi DeviDevi slaying demon Dhumralochana: The messenger returned and reported this to the king. The king in anger sent Dhumralochana (with an army of sixty thousand asuras) to bring Devi dragging by her hair. When Dhumralochana rushed towards Devi (abiding on the snowy mountain), She reduced her to ashes by the mere sound of a "hum". The army of the asura started showering arrows and other weapons on Devi. The lion of Devi confronted them and severed the arms and heads of many and soon destroyed the whole army.
