Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: "Then, O Rāghava, in that vast expanse, I saw that Rudra - who was maddened, of immense form, and had begun to dance."

He assumed a form like the sky, yet without abandoning his inherent pervasiveness, immense in body, dark like a dense cloud, and filling all ten directions.

With eyes like the sun, moon, and fire, and having the moving ten directions as its garment, it forms a dense, long network of radiance, like a garland for dark-blue flames.

With eyes like the submarine fire, and shining with a multitude of restless, arm-like waves, it arose suddenly, as if taking a bodily form from the waters of the single primordial ocean (ekārṇava).

Immediately afterwards, I see a shadow (chāyā) emerging from its body, as if mimicking its dance.

When no suns are present and the sky is enveloped in deep darkness, how could this shadow (chāyā) exist? This is my reflection.

As quickly as I considered, right then, before him, she stood, dancing all around – vast and endowed with three eyes (Śrī Trilōcanā).

She was dark, emaciated, with a body full of prominent veins, dilapidated, and of expansive form. Her crown was a mass of forests, agitated by flickering fires and raging flames.

She was dark like crushed collyrium or absolute darkness, having assumed the form of night. It was as if she were the very glory of darkness embodied, or the brilliance of the sky given tangible form.

She was exceedingly tall, with a terrifying face, poised as if to measure the sky. Through the illusion of her long knees and arms, she seemed to desire to measure the very directions.

She was emaciated, as if from many fasts, with her vast body deeply hollowed out. She was dark like collyrium, resembling a chain of clouds disturbed by the wind.

When she was emaciated and unable to stand, she was exceedingly long by her very nature (vidhinā). She appeared as if bound together by long cords in the form of sinews.

She was indeed so exceedingly long that I could see her head and hoof only with great effort, by repeatedly moving my gaze up and down for a long time.

From its very base, it was like a mass of thorns, with its collection of heads, forelimbs, and hooves entangled by intertwined strings of intestines, as if wound with threads.

By means of the clusters of lotus-like heads of the sun and other deities, which represent the universal form, she (the goddess) is described as having her garment's hem - composed of pure light, wind, and fire - fashioned into a garland.

She is pure, having a garland of moon-like teeth, (shining forth) from the emission of pure radiance. She appears like a line ascending above the ocean of darkness, revolving in circular eddies.

It was a scene where the sky was enveloped by oceans and islands that appeared like discus weapons hurled in battle, and where mighty mountains, the earth, and even blades of grass were violently agitated as if caught in a playful whirlpool.

The Vindhya mountain dances in the golden mountain's forest, and the Sahya mountain, Kailasa, Malaya, the Mahendra peak, Krauñca mountain, Mandara, and Gokarna – these, along with the Earth (Vasumatī), the city of the Vidyādharas, and all forest regions – always achieved mobility within her body, as if in the courtyard of the sky.

The ocean dances on the mountain; and the mountain, towering high, resides in the hollow of the sky. Where has the sky, along with the moon and sun, gone, having moved beneath the earth? The multitude of forests, adorned with islands, mountains, and cities, their flowers scattered, are now in the sky. The restless world (jagat) rotates in the circle of directions, just like a blade of grass (tṛṇa) in the ocean.

Mountains wander in the sky; oceans at the ends of the directions; other worlds and circles of cities and towns; rivers and lakes - all move as if within a mirror, in the manner of blades of grass scattered by mighty winds.

And fish wander in the desert as if in excellent water. Stable cities shine in the sky as if they were on earth. Mountains in the sky resemble that cloud of cosmic dissolution, standing like a mountain overturned by catastrophic winds.

The cluster of stars (ṛkṣa) revolves, beautiful with the speed of raining gems, in the manner of a wheel-machine with a thousand lamps. It wanders both inside and outside, all around, like a shower of flowers released with affection by multitudes of Vidyādharas and gods.

In creation, states (bhāvāḥ) such as destruction and creation, pleasure and pain, existence and non-existence, activity and inactivity, prohibition and injunction, birth and death, illusion, and so on, always manifest, both together and distinctly. They do so even though these states (bhāvāḥ) have become intertwined within that creation.

The illusions of the arising, existence, and passing away of states; and the illusions of creation, destruction, and protection of worlds - of these manifestations, which shine forth in space (khe) as if they had spatial bodies (khaśarīrakāṇām), not even a fraction can truly be counted here, for they are all merely illusory (mithyā).

In that creation (tatra), all these - portents and their pacification, deaths and celebrations, wars and states of peace, hatred and attachment, fear and trust, and similar pairs - shine forth together like a treasury (kośa) filled with various jewels (ratnacaya). This whole is an unceasing succession of creations (sarga) that are irresistible and imbued with diverse flavors or sentiments (nānārasa).

In her body, which is composed of consciousness-space, the arrangements of the world, whose nature is subtle (asphuṭa) states of experience, naturally exist, and are all perishable. They appear all around like the flickering of hair-particles (dust motes) seen in the sky by a blurred eye.

The world (jagat) is seen to be agitated and yet unagitated, unstable, and (existing) in a state of both stability and full establishment/change, just like a reflection in a moving mirror.

The objects of the world (jagat), within the pulsating manifestation of brilliance or power, constantly abandon one state and assume another, like a creation born from a child's imagination (saṃkalpa).

The power of action (kriyā-śakti) is constantly being filled within the body; meanwhile, the multitudes of world-particles (jagat), like tiny mung beans, having accumulated, disintegrate.

For a moment she is perceived as something, and then for a moment she is not perceived at all. For a moment she is merely the size of a thumb, and for another moment she fills the entire sky.

This is because she, the complete Goddess, is the power of consciousness (śakti) that pervades the universe. She is infinite, her pure form (śarīra) being the very sheath of the supreme (param) space (ākāśa).

For indeed, that consciousness (cit) manifests within the three worlds, which are situated in the three divisions of time, doing so in its own existing form. It appears with a rapid manifestation, resembling the wondrous net of transmigratory existence (saṃsāra) that is present within the generous mind of the creator.

Because she is of the nature of a single consciousness (cit), whose one form (vapus) is all-pervading, and because she embodies the reality (tattva) of a single consciousness (cit), whose one form (vapus) is tranquil like space (kha), she thus shines, bearing an infinite and beginningless form that simultaneously closes and opens.

In her, whose body is merely space and whose intrinsic nature (ātman) is the sky, a visible phenomenon shines. It appears within that infinite sheath, whose intrinsic nature (ātman) is stone, resembling the arrangements of lines, lotuses, and circles. Due to her consciousness, it is like a line of waves within a fluid ocean-shell.

The great goddess Bhairavi (Bhairavī), dancing and filling the sky, stands before that Rudra (Rudra) whose form is terrifying, appearing at the dissolution of a cosmic cycle.

Scattering masses of flowers from garlands and networks of such a kind, she seemed to be creating destruction and ruin, agitated by her dance.

Being saluted by her, that Bhairava of the sky (ākāśabhairava) also, similarly, with his form expanded, then dances loudly.

May Bhairava protect you! He is praised by Kālarātrī, who is joyful in the cosmic dissolution. She dances, producing sounds of 'ḍiṃba ḍiba suḍiṃba', 'paca paca', and 'sahasā jhamya jhamya prajhamya' with musical instruments, her chest adorned with a garland and her head with a crest made of Garuḍa's wings. In her hand, she holds the great horn of Yama's buffalo, brimming with blood-wine.
