Kali Chalisa in Kannada · ಕನ್ನಡ
ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Traditional Hindi devotional chalisa · Traditional · Devotional era
Kali is the fierce, dark aspect of the Mother Goddess, born of Durga's wrath to slay the demons that the gods could not. The Chalisa recalls her eight-armed form garlanded with skulls, her slaying of Mahishasura, Shumbha and Nishumbha, and the moment when, unstoppable in her battle-fury, she trod upon Shiva and bit her tongue, the form by which she is known to this day, at once the destroyer of all evil and the granter of fearlessness to her devotees.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is told that Kali's battle-fury in slaying the demons could not be quelled until Shiva himself lay in her path; the touch of her own lord beneath her foot stilled her wrath, and the Mother who could not be stopped by all the gods was checked in an instant by love, a sign that she yields utterly to the devotion of those who take her name.
