Where shall I go? Alas, great misery has befallen me. How can this misery, this great misery be dispelled now? My son has been killed by all the gods and the Gaṇas. I shall destroy them all or create a deluge’. Lamenting thus, the great goddess of all the worlds (sarva-lokamaheśvarī) angrily created in a moment hundreds and thousands of Śaktis. [...]”
