Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 in an open fight.So if Sumbha wanted to marry her ,he should come at once and fight with her.This challenge was joyfully accepted by the demons and the fight began .The battle on this occasion was much more prolonged and fierce than the battle with Mahisha .At one stage the Goddess grew so dark with rage that out of her forhead issued forth Kali with a terrible form ,clad in a tiger skin and wearing a garland of skulls and lolling out her tongue for the blood of the enemy .The fight now becomes most ghastly .Kali roams about in the battle field crushing the demons or devouring them or drinking the blood of the slain.She destroys Canda and Munda and is rewarded by Ambika by the title of Chamunda ..After her work is over ,Kali retires again in the body of Candi,who thereafter single- handed dispatches the two leaders Sumbha and Nisumbha ,and the fight comes to a close .The gods sing again a hymn of thanksgiving ,and the Goddess vanishes after promising that she will take birth again and again for vanquishing the wicked demons in the future ages .
