[651] CandA : The passionate Goddess.

 

CandA or Candi is an epithet of DurgA. She is out to vanquish evil or

demonic forces in the world. Goddess UmA as the daughter of

DaksaprajApati became passionate and immolated herself causing

disruption and destruction to the daksa Sacrifice. That is the form of

Candi. The Divine Mother is pleasant and beautiful. At the same time

she is terrible also. It is the Supreme Self that assumes the form of

the Mother. Candi is Brahman in the form of MahAmAyA.

 

 

[652] KarAladasanAnanA : She whose face glows wit fearful teeth.

 

This is one of the forms of KAli. Moving in crematory the goddess, mad

with tasting the meat and blood of the dead, looks terrific with her

formidable teeth. Esoterically this means that the Divine Mother is

ever ready to destroy the little ego that causes birth and death in

cyclic order.

 

[653] KarAlA : The goddess who is very fearful.

 

Having assumed the form of KAli, the goddess slew the demons Canda and

Munda and wore the garland of their heads. This spread terror for

other demons as well.
