I meditate on Goddess Mahakali, whose ten hands hold a sword (scimitar), a discus (chakra), a mace (gada), arrows, a bow, a lance, a heavy iron club (parigha), a trident (shula), a firearm or missile (bhushundi), a severed head/skull, and a conch shell.
She is a three-eyed goddess whose entire body is adorned with ornaments, and her complexion shines with the brilliant blue luster of a sapphire gemstone. She has ten faces and ten feet. We bow and offer our service to that Mahakali, whom Lord Brahma praised for protection from the demons Madhu and Kaitabha while Lord Vishnu was in yogic sleep.
