ABSTRACT

I resort to Mahakali, who has ten faces, ten legs and holds in her hands the sword, discus, mace, arrows, bow, club, spear, missile, human head and conch, who is three-eyed, adorned with ornaments on all her limbs, and luminous like a blue jewel, and whom Brahma extolled in order to destroy Madhuand Kaiṭabha, when Viṣṇu was in (mystic) sleep.
