11. Her body was as a huge cliff, hurled down by the thunder bolt of the last doomsday (when high mountains were rent and thrown into the sea to form their hidden rocks). The flashes of her eyeballs blazed in the sky like a pair of bangles or conch shells. 12. The darkness of her appearance, cast into shade, the deep dark waters of the deep at the universal deluge; which hid the flame of the submarine fire under them; and her voice was as hoarse as the growling of clouds on the high heads of hills. 13. Her statue was like that of a monumental pillar standing between the heaven and earth; while the gnashing of her teeth struck the night-rovers with the terror of being grinded under them to death. 14. Her figure inspired like those of the nocturnal goblins, yakshas, Rákshas and Pisáchas, with the dread of dire disaster, by its erect hairs, muscular limbs, dingy eyes and coal black colour of the body. 15. The air she breathed in the lungs, snored as the horrible snorting of the nostrils of horses; while the tip of her nose was as big as a mallet, and its sides as flat as a pair of bellows or winnowing fans. 16. She stood with her jet black body like a rock of dark agate, and that joined with her loud laugh, gave her the appearance of the all subduing night of dissolution. (Kálarátri—the night of universal doom, is an attribute of Kálí—the goddess of destruction). 17. Her bulky body resembling a thick cloudy night, approached to them like an autumnal cloud, moving in the forest of the sky. 18. The huge body appeared as a demon rising from underneath the ground, and approaching to devour them as the eclipse ingulfs the orbs of the sun and moon. 19. Her ebon breasts were hanging down, like two pendant clouds of sombre sapphires, or more like the two mortars or water pots, with her necklaces hanging on them. 20. Her two arms were suspended to her bulky body, like a couple of stout branches to the sturdy oak, or like two logs of burnt wood to her coal like body. 21. Seeing her thus, the two valiant men remained as steadfast, as those standing on the firm ground of certainty, are never led away by doubts. 22. The Minister said:—O great friend! what causes this rage and fury in thy great soul? It is the mean and base only, that are ever violent even in trifling matters. 23. Lay aside this great ado for nothing, which does not become thee; because the wise pursue their business with coolness to crown it with success. 24. Know the soft and slow breath of our moderation, has driven away in the air, swarms of such flies like thyself; as the slight breath of the wind scatters about the dry leaves and straws. 25. Setting aside all hauteur and ardour of spirit, the wiseman conducts his business with the calm coolness of the mind, assisted by reason and practical wisdom.
