Incarnation of 厂补迟墨.

艢颈惫补 was born from 叠谤补丑尘腻. To make 艢颈惫补 active, 厂补迟墨, an aspect of 惭补丑腻尘腻测腻, was born as the daughter of 顿补办峁�a, one of the 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈蝉. The 9th Skandha of Dev墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 gives the following story about the incarnation of 厂补迟墨:

While 叠谤补丑尘腻 was engaged in creation a few daityas named 贬腻濒腻丑补濒补蝉 were born. They were very valiant and ferocious and they did penance to propitiate 叠谤补丑尘腻 and after obtaining boons from him conquered the three worlds and asserted their supremacy in all the three worlds. They defied the 罢谤颈尘奴谤迟颈蝉 (trio of 叠谤补丑尘腻. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and 艢颈惫补). 艢颈惫补 and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 in despair went to war against them. The war continued for sixty thousand years and both the daityas and Devas were exhausted. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and 艢颈惫补 refused to attend to their duties. 叠谤补丑尘腻 understood the situation and taking into his hands the work of 艢颈惫补 and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 also and calling his sons, Sanaka and others to his side said "Oh sons, 艢颈惫补 and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 are incapable of doing their work now, I have therefore, taken on myself the charge of their duties also and hence I do not find time to do penance. You must therefore, do penance to propitiate 惭补丑腻尘腻测腻. Let her be pleased and when she incarnates in this universe the world will be happy."

As soon as they heard this the 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈蝉 headed by 顿补办峁�a went to the forests on the side of the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉. They started doing penance reciting the mantra of M膩y膩b墨ja. The penance lasted for a hundred thousand years and then the goddess was pleased. She graciously appeared before them with three eyes and four hands bearing 辫腻艣补, 补峁卥耻艣补, vara and abh墨ti. 顿补办峁�a and others praised her and she granted them boons. She did also promise to be born as the daughter of 顿补办峁�a. 顿补办峁�a and others returned happy.

惭补丑腻尘腻测腻 incarnated as 厂补迟墨 in the house of 顿补办峁�a. 厂补迟墨 blossomed into a beautiful maiden and all the 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈蝉 joined together and made 艢颈惫补 marry her. The bride and bridegroom lived in the bride鈥檚 house.

At that time the sage 顿耻谤惫腻蝉补蝉 worshipped 闯补驳补诲补尘产颈办腻 seated at 闯腻尘产奴苍补诲补 meditating on her and reciting the m膩y膩b墨ja mantra. The 诲别惫墨 was immensely pleased and appearing before him gave him the divine garland lying round her neck. The garland was highly perfumed. Honey flowed from it always. Wearing that garland the sage travelled through air and reached the palace of 顿补办峁�a, father of 厂补迟墨, and gave that garland to him. 顿补办峁�a received it with great delight and took it to his bed-room and placed it there. That night 顿补办峁�a inhaled the perfume of the divine garland and enjoyed an amorous sport with his wife. This act made the garland impure and the latent curse in it made 顿补办峁�a hate his daughter 厂补迟墨 and her husband 艢颈惫补. After that 顿补办峁�a conducted a Y膩ga and insulted 艢颈惫补 by not inviting either him or his wife. 厂补迟墨, however, attended the Y膩ga uninvited and she was insulted. Unable to bear the insult 厂补迟墨 leapt into the fire and committed suicide. From that day onwards 艢颈惫补 roamed about in the world crying "厂补迟墨, 厂补迟墨."

厂补迟墨, 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 (碍腻濒墨).

During that time a son named 痴补箩谤腻峁単补 was born to 碍补艣测补辫补 of his wife Diti. This virtuous asura practised austerities for a thousand years and when he opened his eyes after his long penance he did not see his wife. 痴补箩谤腻峁単补 started in search of her collecting fruits and roots for his food on the way. Then he came across her standing underneath a tree weeping and she said: "All the time you were doing penance, Indra was teasing me. I was living without food on the banks of the river keeping a vow of silence. Indra came there in the form of a monkey and threw away all my articles used for worship. Then he came in the form of a lion and frightened me. Then again he came in the form of a serpent and bit me. Oh lord, am I, your wife, an orphan?" 痴补箩谤腻峁単补 got angry and decided to do penance again to find a remedy for this unjust act of Indra. Then 叠谤补丑尘腻 coming to know of the fierce decision of 痴补箩谤腻峁単补 appeared before him and said "Why do you go in for a penance again? Ask me what you want and I shall grant you." 痴补箩谤腻峁単补 said "Oh Lord, I did penance all these thousand years to get rid of the demoniac disposition of mine. But when I was engaged in meditation Indra tormented my virtuous wife very much without any reason. If you will bless me I must get a son named 罢腻谤补办补 to kill all the devas including Indra." 叠谤补丑尘腻 granted the boon.

痴补谤腻峁単墨 became pregnant and after twelve months was born a son to her named 罢腻谤补办腻蝉耻谤补. 罢腻谤补办补 did severe penance sitting in the midst of 笔补帽肠腻驳苍颈 (five fires) for a long time and 叠谤补丑尘腻 was pleased and appeared before him. 罢腻谤补办补 then said: "If I were to die I must die at the hands of a seven-day-old babe. You must grant me a boon like that." 叠谤补丑尘腻 granted the boon. 罢腻谤补办补 became arrogant with that boon and joined hands with such fierce demons as Prasena, Jambha and 碍腻濒补苍别尘颈 to create havoc in the three worlds of Svarga, 叠丑奴尘颈 and 笔腻迟腻濒补. They blessed the wicked and killed the virtuous. It was the time when 艢颈惫补 was sadly roaming about in search of his lost wife 厂补迟墨.

All the devas headed by Indra went and complained to 叠谤补丑尘腻. 叠谤补丑尘腻 said:鈥�"After all, this calamity is not without remedy. There is an escape from the boon I have given him. 罢腻谤补办腻蝉耻谤补 himself has allowed him to be killed by a sevenday-old babe. If there should be such a babe it should be from the virility of 艢颈惫补. 罢腻谤补办腻蝉耻谤补 thinks that since 艢颈惫补 is observing brahmacarya after the death of 厂补迟墨 there is no chance of a babe being born to him. That was why he was prepared to allow that clause in that boon. I shall therefore suggest a plan. 厂补迟墨 herself should be born as the daughter of 贬颈尘补惫腻苍 and 惭别苍腻 in the name of 碍腻濒墨. 碍腻濒墨 should do great penance and break the vow of celibacy of 艢颈惫补. If 艢颈惫补 accepts her as his wife and a child is born to them we are saved."

艢颈惫补 was all this time spending his time thinking of 厂补迟墨. Once during this time 艢颈惫补 bathed in the river 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 and then the waters of the river 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 became black and the waters remained black ever since that.

Indra and others on their return from 叠谤补丑尘腻 went to 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 to think about further procedure in the matter. 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 said:鈥�"No obstacle would ever come to any act of the devas. 贬颈尘补惫腻苍 was doing penance for a long time to obtain a child and by the grace of 艢颈惫补, 厂补迟墨 has already been born as the daughter of 贬颈尘补惫腻苍. (Skanda 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 in its Sambhava 碍腻峁囜笉补 states thus about the birth of 厂补迟墨 as 笔腻谤惫补迟墨. "厂补迟墨 before jumping into the fire meditated on 艢颈惫补 and prayed that she should be born in her next birth as his wife. 艢颈惫补 granted that request. It was at that time that 贬颈尘补惫腻苍 along with his wife 惭别苍腻 went to the vicinity of Am峁泃asaras and started doing penance to get a child. One day when 贬颈尘补惫腻苍 and his wife were bathing in the saras they saw a gem of a girl in the waters and they took it. Then they found the child with four hands and all other emblems of goddess on her. They praised her with verses from Vedas and soon the divine emblems faded away and 贬颈尘补惫腻苍 gave the child to his wife.") 叠谤补丑尘腻 never wanted 罢腻谤补办补 to know that the child was an incarnation of Dev墨 and so he made the babe black by sending 狈颈艣腻 to do so. 狈颈艣腻 entered the womb of the pregnant 惭别苍腻 while she was sleeping with her mouth open one day. The child was like a sapphire idol. 贬颈尘补惫腻苍 was surprised to see the child. The child will do severe penance and obtain 艢颈惫补 as her husband. 艢颈惫补 and 厂补迟墨 will never be separated in any of their births. Oh Indra now go and try to get 艢颈惫补 interested in a married life."

贬颈尘补惫腻苍 and 惭别苍腻 had three daughters and a son. The devas were watching who among the three鈥�搁腻驳颈峁嚹�, Ku峁璱l膩 and 碍腻濒墨鈥攚ould become the consort of 艢颈惫补. All the three were interested in penance. The devas took 搁腻驳颈峁嚹� to Brahmaloka and showed her to 叠谤补丑尘腻 and the latter declared that 搁腻驳颈峁嚹� was incapable of bearing the virility of 艢颈惫补. 搁腻驳颈峁嚹� got angry and 叠谤补丑尘腻 cursed her and made her into Sandhy膩r膩ga and she took her place in the sky. Then the devas took Ku峁璱l膩 to 叠谤补丑尘腻 and the latter said that she was also incapable of being a mate of 艢颈惫补. Ku峁璱l膩 also got angry and 叠谤补丑尘腻 made her into a river and kept her in Brahmaloka. 惭别苍腻 was greatly distressed at the loss of her two daughters and so she advised 碍腻濒墨, her third daughter to go home, discontinuing the penance. She at first said Um膩 (M膩 = do not) and so she got the name of Um膩 She was the daughter of a Parvata (贬颈尘补惫腻苍 is a parvata (mountai峁�) and so she got the name 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 (mountain-girl) also. 碍腻濒墨 later went home. But after some time the natural inclination in her led her to start a severe penance again.

The young 碍腻濒墨, who was only a small girl then, accompanied by two of her girl companions went to the shores of a river deep in the forests and started practising austerities. In summer she would sit in the midst of 笔补帽肠腻驳苍颈 (five fires) and in the rainy season she would sit in water and do penance. The penance lasted for a thousand years.

艢颈惫补 who was roaming about in search of 厂补迟墨 went once to the palace of 贬颈尘补惫腻苍. 艢颈惫补 agreed to stay there for some time at the persistent request of 贬颈尘补惫腻苍. During his stay there 艢颈惫补 understood that one of the daughters of his host was doing penance meditating on 艢补峁卥补谤补. Curious to know more about her, 艢颈惫补 one day went to the 腻艣谤补尘补 of 碍腻濒墨. 碍腻濒墨 saw 艢颈惫补 and she stood up bowing before him. 艢颈惫补 was pleased with her. But before 碍腻濒墨 could have another look at 艢颈惫补, he vanished from there.

碍腻濒墨 was disappointed and continued her penance again. Years went by and one day there came to her 腻艣谤补尘补 a 痴补峁璾 (a brahmin 产谤补丑尘补肠腻谤墨). 碍腻濒墨 and her companions stood up and worshipped the 痴补峁璾 who looked brilliant with ashes on his body and wearing 谤耻诲谤腻办峁�a and 补办峁�a尘腻濒腻 (berry of a tree and rosary made of it) and carrying in his hand a 诲补峁囜笉补 (stick) and a 碍补尘补峁囜笉补濒耻 (water pot). After formal introduction the 痴补峁璾 asked 碍腻濒墨 the purpose of her penance and 碍腻濒墨 told him all about it. Then the 痴补峁璾 asked her in tones of surprise why such a beautiful girl like herself born to be the wife of a king, should go after a crudely dressed aged man like 艢颈惫补 who goes on the back of a bullock always. 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 resented the statement of the 痴补峁璾 and got angry with him. Then 艢颈惫补 appeared before her in his real form and married 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 (碍腻濒墨 alias Um膩) in the presence of devas and 尘补丑补谤峁�i蝉.

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 changes into 骋补耻谤墨.

艢颈惫补 and 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 spent their honeymoon travelling throughout the world. Years went by like that. One day 艢颈惫补 in a spirit of sport called 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 '碍腻濒墨, 碍腻濒墨'. 碍腻濒墨 meant black one and 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 was as black as sapphire. 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 misunderstood 艢颈惫补 addressing her thus two times and thought, perhaps, 艢颈惫补 did not like her black body and trembling with grief said "If a wound is made by an arrow it will heal in due course; if the top of a tree is chopped off it will again blossom when the season comes; but the wound in the minds of others by harsh words is never healed. It was not my fault that I was born black and I would never again come near you with this black body. I am going." Saying thus with a firm determination, she rose up into the air and travelling for some time reached a big forest. She created by her reciting the smara峁嘺mantra four attendants for her named 厂辞尘补辫谤补产丑腻, 闯补测腻, 痴颈箩补测腻 and 闯补测补苍迟墨 and started doing penance there. She practised severe austerities standing on one foot for a hundred years and then 叠谤补丑尘腻 appeared before her and sought the reason why 笔腻谤惫补迟墨, wife of 笔补谤补尘别艣惫补谤补 should do such severe penance and then she narrated to him all that had happened. 叠谤补丑尘腻 after hearing her story told her thus:鈥�"Virtuous woman, from today onwards, your black complexion would change into one of the hue of a lotus petal. Because of that 'gaura' hue you would be called '骋补耻谤墨'." By the time 叠谤补丑尘腻 finished blessing her the colour changed into the one described by 叠谤补丑尘腻.

骋补耻谤墨 changes into 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨, Vindhyav膩sin墨, 颁补峁囜笉颈办腻 and C膩mu峁囜笉ik膩.

When Dev墨 became 骋补耻谤墨 her superficial skin peeled off and dropped down, it is said.

At that time there were two great demons called Rambha and Karambha. They had no sons and they started severe penance. Karambha was doing penance standing in deep waters and a crocodile swallowed him. The crocodile was none other than Indra. Rambha did penance standing in the midst of fire and finding no result even after a long time decided to sacrifice himself into the fire. Agnideva then appeared before him and blessed him thus: "Oh Rambha, you will get a mighty son of the woman you love." Rambha stopped his penance and returned home with the boon. On the way he saw a beautlful she-buffalo and passion rose in him and he made contacts with the buffalo. The buffalo became pregnant and in due course delivered a child which later on became the notorious 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. In the meantime a buffalo loved 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补鈥檚 mother and it attacked Rambha and gored him to death. The 驰补办峁�a蝉 burnt his dead body in a funeral pyre and the she-buffalo jumped into the pyre and abandoned her life. From that pyre there arose then another demon and he was the notorious 搁补办迟补产墨箩补. 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补 became the king of demons and 搁补办迟补产墨箩补, 颁补峁囜笉补 and 惭耻峁囜笉补 became his ministers. They attacked the devas and drove them to exhaustion. The devas took refuge in 叠谤补丑尘腻 to think of a plan to kill those asuras. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, and 艢颈惫补 took part in the conference. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 the eternal, got angry along with 艢颈惫补 and became fierce like the fire of death. 叠谤补丑尘腻 and the devas also became angry and from the face of everyone a brilliance emanated and all these brilliances joined together and reached the holy 腻艣谤补尘补 of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补 尘补丑补谤峁�i and that eminent sage also sent out a brilliance. The ascetic brilliance joined with the divine brilliance and the combined brilliance shone like a thousand suns. Then this superior brilliance entered the peeled-off skin of 碍腻濒墨 to produce the fierce and divine form of a goddess named 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨. Each limb of the new form was made up of the brilliance from a particular god as follows: From the brilliance of Mahendra was formed the face; from Agni, the eyes; from Yama, the hair; from 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, the eighteen hands; from Indra, the central parts; from 痴补谤耻峁嘺, the hip and the thighs; from 叠谤补丑尘腻, the feet; from 厂奴谤测补, the toes; from 笔谤补箩腻辫补迟颈, the teeth; from Vasus, the fingers of the hands; from 驰补办峁�a, the nose; from 痴腻测耻 the ears and from the ascetic brilliance, the erotic eyebrows. Thus 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 shone in the world with a figure formed with distinctive perfection.

All the gods and devas presented 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 with gifts:鈥斉毦北共� gave her a trident (迟谤颈艣奴濒补); 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 a Discus; 痴补谤耻峁嘺, a conch; Agni, a javelin; 痴腻测耻, a bow; 厂奴谤测补, a never-empty quiver; Indra, Vajragha峁囜弓膩; Yama, a 诲补峁囜笉补 (stick); 痴补颈艣谤补惫补峁嘺, a mace; 叠谤补丑尘腻, a rosary garland; 碍腻濒补, a sword and shield; Candra, 颁腻尘补谤补 (white brush-like fan) and a pearl necklace; Ocean a garland; 贬颈尘补惫腻苍, a lion; 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘腻, a moondisced 颁奴岣嵞乵补峁噄, earrings and a dagger; the King of Gandharvas, a silver-plated drinking cup; the King of 苍腻驳补蝉, a n膩gah膩ra; and the 峁歵us (seasons), neverfading flowers. The three-eyed 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 on getting all these was highly pleased and made a roaring sound. Dev墨, thus worshipped and adored by all, mounted on the lion and went to the topmost peak of the Vindhyas. Indra and Agni went and served 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 thus living there. Vindhya called Dev墨, 碍补耻艣颈办墨 and Agastya called her 顿耻谤驳腻.

惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补 once went to the Vindhyas after conquering all the three worlds. He was accompanied by his ministers, 搁补办迟补产墨箩补, 颁补峁囜笉补, 惭耻峁囜笉补, Cik峁�ura and Naraka. They met there the goddess 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨. 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补 fell in love with the beautiful and wellfigured 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 and he sent Dundubhi as messenger to the goddess to make her know his desire. Dundubhi approached 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 and told her to become the wife of 惭补丑颈峁�a, the emperor of all the three worlds. Dev墨 replied that she would accept as her husband one who defeated her and that was the custom also in her caste. 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补 with a huge army and heavy equipments went to war with her. But 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 entered the field alone mounted on her lion and the devas watching her enter the battlefield without wearing even an armour were shocked. Dev墨 went forward reciting the mantra of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻pa帽c膩k峁�ara given to her by 艢颈惫补 and lakhs and lakhs of demons were killed by the adroit sword-swinging and the dinning roar of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨. 惭补丑颈峁�a and his ministers surrounded her and Dev墨 stepping down from the lion started to dance wielding her sword. Swinging her sword to the rhythm of her dance-steps Dev墨 picked up the leading demons one by one and killed them. Seeing that, 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补 approached her, burning with rage like the pralay膩gni. All the attendants of Dev墨 fled. Those who remained were trampled to death by 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. Dev墨 at first killed the ministers and then faced 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. 惭补丑颈峁�a became an elephant and Dev墨 cut off its trunk. The elephant became a buffalo then. Dev墨 sent a spike and it broke. Even Dev墨鈥檚 Discus, granted to her by 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 was blunted when it hit the rock-like body of 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. 痴补谤耻峁嘺辫腻艣补, Yama诲补峁囜笉补 and Indravajra were all alike fruitless against the mighty 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. Angered Dev墨 jumped on the buffalo form of the demon and drove it to exhaustion and when at last its power of resistance had failed, Dev墨 plunged her spear into the ears of the buffalo and the demon fell dead.

Many years went by. 碍补艣测补辫补 begot of his wife Danu three great sons named 艢耻尘产丑补, 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 and Namuci. All were fierce demons. Namuci attacked Indra but they soon came to a compromise. But Indra hid in the foam of the ocean which entered the ears, nose and mouth of Namuci while he was playing in the ocean. Indra used his 痴补箩谤腻测耻诲丑补 from inside and killed him. 艢耻尘产丑补 and 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 were angry and they entered svarga and defeating everyone there, carried all the riches from there to the earth. They met 搁补办迟补产墨箩补 and he said "Oh Lords, I am 搁补办迟补产墨箩补, minister of 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 Dev墨 killed virtuous 惭补丑颈峁Ｄ乻耻谤补. His two ministers 颁补峁囜笉补 and 惭耻峁囜笉补 are hiding inside the ocean afraid of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 诲别惫墨." While he was speaking thus 颁补峁囜笉补 and 惭耻峁囜笉补 also came there. When they all exchanged ideas 艢耻尘产丑补 called one of his men and said "Bho: Sugr墨v膩sura, go and tell 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 to be my wife." 厂耻驳谤墨惫补 went to 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 and returned disappointed and said "Lords 艢耻尘产丑补 and 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补, I told Dev墨 your message and she only laughed. She said that 艢耻尘产丑补 and Ni艣umha might be mighty lords but only those who defeated her could marry her."

Enraged at this arrogance of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨, 艢耻尘产丑补 sent 顿丑奴尘谤腻办峁�a to drag 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 down to him. 顿丑奴尘谤腻办峁�a with six 础办峁�a耻丑颈峁嚹玸 of soldiers went to the seat of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 and challenged her to a fight. Dev墨 stepped down from her seat and stood before 顿丑奴尘谤腻办峁�a and the latter leaped forward to catch hold of her. But 顿丑奴尘谤腻办峁�a was burnt to death by the hu峁僰膩ra fire of the goddess. Not only that, the hu峁僰膩ra sound reached the ears of 艢耻尘产丑补. 艢耻尘产丑补 felt small by this prowess of the Dev墨 but his rage increased. 艢耻尘产丑补 then sent 颁补峁囜笉补, 惭耻峁囜笉补 and the great demon Ruru also with an army of a hundred crores of demons to face Dev墨 碍补耻艣颈办墨. When the enemies reached Vindhya the 产丑奴迟补蝉 of Dev墨 made loud and shrill noises. The lion of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 roared and she leaped into the midst of the army sword in hand. Lakhs and lakhs of asuras fell dead by the sword of the goddess. Dev墨 once opened her mouth and lakhs of asuras entered it and then she shut her mouth keeping in her stomach the asuras till they all died. Dev墨 beat the demon Ruru to death. Dev墨 plucked her matted hair and struck it on the ground and from there arose the fierce form of 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨. 颁补峁囜笉补 and 惭耻峁囜笉补 fled but 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 followed them to 笔腻迟腻濒补 and catching hold of them chopped off their heads and presented them to 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨. Then Dev墨, 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 and the 产丑奴迟补蝉 together tore to pieces all the remaining asuras and stored them all in their stomachs. Hearing this 艢耻尘产丑补鈥檚 rage knew no bounds and he started with an army of thirty crores of men. The army swept on like an ocean and finding it moving forward 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 roared. 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 made a sound like a lion鈥檚 roar. 叠谤补丑尘腻峁嚹� holding high the dagger jumped down to fight. 惭腻丑别艣惫补谤墨 with snakes and the spike, with the three eyes open got down in fits of anger. 碍补耻尘腻谤墨 with the javelin hanging round her waist and bright eyes entered the field. 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫墨 swinging her sword and whirling the mace with many weapons rushed to the field. 痴腻谤腻丑墨 breaking open the earth with its tusk and bearing a large wooden pestle came to fight. 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� with diamond on her sides came to fight. 狈腻谤补蝉颈峁僪墨 brushing the manes on her breast, shaking the stars and whirling the planets and making a fierce appearance came to the field. (颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨, 叠谤补丑尘腻峁嚹�, M膩hesvar墨, 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫墨, 痴腻谤腻丑墨 and 狈腻谤补蝉颈峁僪墨 are the different forms of 碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨. They are called Saptam膩t峁泂 (seven mothers). These saptam膩t峁泂 were born when-碍腻迟测腻测补苍墨 in her wrath beat the earth with her matted hair). 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 roared. The world became dark. Hearing the roar 艢颈惫补 descended to the field. The Asuras surrounded the Dev墨 again. But they all fell dead with blood flowing in a stream. The dead bodies of the asuras became heaped up and in despair 艢耻尘产丑补 and 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 wept. Seeing that, 搁补办迟补产墨箩补 got angry and rushed at Dev墨. The Saptam膩t峁泂 shouted and 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 opened her mouth. The lower jaw of 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 touched 笔腻迟腻濒补 when she opened her mouth from the sky. 搁补办迟补产墨箩补, wounded and bleeding by a dagger stroke of 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨, fell into the mouth of 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 and disappeared. Then 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 interfered and the fight became one between 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 and Dev墨. The fat and sturdy hands of 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 and the mace he was carrying fell by an arrow sent by Dev墨. Then Dev墨 struck him with her spike and 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 was killed. Both 艢耻尘产丑补 and 狈颈艣耻尘产丑补 who came to weeak vengeance on her were thus killed. (See under La峁卥膩lak峁�m墨 to know how 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 became La峁卥膩lak峁�m墨).

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 takes the forms of Elephant and monkey.

艢颈惫补 and 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 went about enjoying amorous sports in the forests. 艢颈惫补 turned himself into a tusker and 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 became a she-elephant then. 骋补峁嘺辫补迟颈 was born as a result of that sport. 艢颈惫补 became a monkey and 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 became his mate and 贬补苍奴尘腻苍 was born as a result of that sport. (See under 骋补峁嘺辫补迟颈 and 贬补苍奴尘腻苍).

笔腻谤惫补迟墨 became 厂墨迟腻.

This happened when 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 along with 厂墨迟腻 were in the forests. One day 厂墨迟腻 went to the 骋辞诲腻惫补谤墨 river nearby to bring water to the 腻艣谤补尘补 and she stayed for some time watching two swans playing in the midst of lotuses in the lake there. Hearing a sound she looked into the river and saw 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 bathing there. She was surprised. When she left the 腻艣谤补尘补 搁腻尘补 was sitting there. At the same time another thing happened in the 腻艣谤补尘补. 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 found 厂墨迟腻 coming to him and when he arose to receive her the figure disappeared. Then 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 found bathing by 厂墨迟腻诲别惫墨 also disappeared. When an astonished 厂墨迟腻 reached the 腻艣谤补尘补 she found an equally astonished 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 sitting there. They then told each other their experiences and 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 on meditation understood that in the guise of 搁腻尘补 and 厂墨迟腻 艢颈惫补 and 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 had come from 碍补颈濒腻蝉补 to know about the welfare of the princes in exile.
