Source: Wisdom Library: Śāktism

Tṛṣā (तृषा, “Thirst”):—One of the names of Mahākālī (tamas-form of Mahādevī). Mahākālī is one of the three primary forms of Devī. Not to be confused with Kālī, she is a more powerful cosmic aspect (vyaṣṭi) of Devi and represents the guṇa (universal energy) named tamas. For reference, see the Devī Māhātmya, a Sanskrit work from the 5th century, incorporated into the Mārkaṇḍeya-Purāṇa.

[Such a Siddha] is free from cold, heat, thirst (tṛṣā), fear, desire and greed. He has crossed over the ocean of anxiety, disease, fever, suffering and grief”.
