is there an esoteric meaning to unflattering title?

[Guest guest]

Looking through Kali's names I noticed one that surprised me -- the

name is Kubjika, and means Crippled or Hunchback. (I think this is

also one of the titles of Balaa.)

I can understand why Kali can be described as Ugra, or Ghora, and

that it is not really an insult to her since she can assume such

forms if she wants to frighten someone or repel someone.

But I cannot see should why she be called Kubjika. Is there an

esoteric reason for this title, or is it a reference to a particular

myth in which she assumed such a form for some purpose? Or is it a

misprint or mistranslation?

Jai Kali
