She possesses every limb and is endowed with a visualized form whose (basic) reality is clear. She is (black) like sliced collyrium and hair is brown and (tied in the) foreign (style). The eyes are stern. Showing (her) teeth, they (are as if) burning. The eyebrows are brown [i.e., piṅgala-bhruvā] and the goddess bears the Five Insignias and shines with the skull that decorates (her). [...]”.
