This connotes that contemplation on the Devi's forehead, bright with

charming splendour, gives peace and solace to Her devotees. The

splendid curl on her forehead suggests the gesture of her libertime

grace.

KaumAri, VaisnavI, VArahi, NArashimhI and Aindri, the Saktis of

BrahmA, Isvara, KumAra, Visnu, VarAha, NArasimha and Indra

respectively. Goddess DurgA is the centre of all these emerges and

is

invoked as such in the form of SArikA Bhagavati.

 

 

[796] MAtramandalavAsinI : Who pervades the circular orb of the

MAtrikAs.

The seven little mothers are also called the MAtrikas in whom

goddess

Durga dwells. The cosmic purpose of these manifestations is the

demon, ArakAsara. Being breast-fed by Krttikas, KumAra was named
