श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
अथ भूधरशृङ्गाभा सा महाकृष्णराक्षसी ।

atha bhūdharaśṛṅgābhā sā mahākṛṣṇarākṣasī |

Vasishtha continued:—Now this Suchi who had been as tall as a mountain-peak, and a Rakshasi of the blackest kind, resembling a thick and dark cloud of the rainy season; began gradually to fade away, and grow leaner and leaner day by day.
