Accordingly as Brahmā said to Nārada:—“[...] O celestial sage, on being thus lauded Caṇḍikā, the mystic slumber, appeared before me. [...] Her face (ānana) shone like the autumnal moon (śaradindu), the crescent moon bedecked her forehead. She had three eyes, looked beautiful and the nails of her lotus-like feet glistened”.

The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
