Abjikā is above. Kā is Kālī who is within Śiva. She, Vakrā, the venerable Kubjikā is victorious. I worship Parā by whom she has been emanated, Kujā who consumes the vital breath (haṃsavṛttidvipa). She, the mistress of (all) living beings, is Kālī in the Age of Strife who resides in the Western House”.
