(I am) the Bliss of Stillness, incomparable, Anāmā, who is Parāparā. (I am) Aparā the energy Kaulinī and Parā who, devoid of (phenomenal) characteristics, is imperceptible. I am that goddess Kubjikā. I am the crooked (goddess). I am the one with the lion’s look and I am the one whose vehicle is Śiva”.
