Sanskrit Original
तस्मात्त्वं मम मदनारिदक्षशत्रो यज्ञारे त्रिपुररिपो ममैव वीरैः। भूतेन्द्रैर्हरिवदनेन देवसंघैर योद्धुं ते बलमिह चास्ति चेद्धि तिष्ठ।।
tasmāttvaṃ mama madanāridakṣaśatro yajñāre tripuraripo mamaiva vīraiḥ| bhūtendrairharivadanena devasaṃghair yoddhuṃ te balamiha cāsti ceddhi tiṣṭha||
Sūta said: What purpose of mine can be served in the battle by the mutual clash of Devas and Asuras? I alone am competent to destroy all these in an instant. I have no fear of fighting. O Īśa, this is my earnest desire. Hence, O enemy of Kāma, Dakṣa, Yajña and Tripuras, if you have strength to fight with my heroes with the help of your leading Bhūtas and the monkey-faced Nandin, then you stand here to fight with me.
