Ahah sUte savyam tava nayanam ark'AtmakatayA

triyAmAm vAmam te srjati rajani-nAyakatayA

trtiyA te drstir dara-dalita-hemAmbuja-rucih

samAdhatte sandhyAm divasa-nisayor antara-carIm

 

Thy right eye, being of the form of the Sun, begets the day, while

Thy left [eye], of the form of the Moon, begets the night; Thy third

eye, which resemble a slightly blossomed gold lotus, brings forth

twilight, which intervenes day and night.

 

 

This stanza, wherein the Devi's three eyes are said to bring forth

day and night with the intervening twilight, may be said to indicate

her character as transcending KAla, all time, from day and night on

to infinite time. Her being described as having three eyes indicates

also her oneness with Isvara, who is reputed to have three eyes.
