[...] One should meditate constantly on the Goddess who, in this form, is in the middle of a Kadamba forest in the midst of the eight (Mothers) Brahmī and the rest (each in their) own (place). A thousand petalled lotus [i.e., sahasra-dalasaṃkula] is (above her) on the upper path. (It) rains down with a great current (of nectar) and is (red) like burning lac. [...]”.
