24. I understood this person to be the figure of chaotic, and the same which the wise have ascertained as the goddess known under the designation of Kálior eternal night. Or I presently recognized her as the figure of _kála-rátri_ or dark night; which the wise have ascertained to be the image of dark eternity, as designated as the goddess Kálí—Hecate or chaotic night. (But Kálias in Greek, means _Sundarí_ or fair and beautiful also). 25. The sockets of her triple eyes flashed with a flame, like that of the furnace of a fire engine; and her forest was as glaring and flaring, as the burning Indra-níla mountain. 26. Her cheek-bones were as frightful as two high hills, projecting over her hideous open mouth; appearing as a mountain cavern, and capable of ingulfing the whole world in it. (Hence Káli the type of time, is said to be the devourer of all things, and restorer of them in unconscious womb). 27. Her shoulder-blades were as high as two mountain peaks, piercing the starry frame; where they were decorated by the clusters of stars, as with strings of pearls. 28. She danced with her outstretched arms, resembling the waving branches of trees; and displayed the brightness of her nails, like that of blooming blossoms upon them; or as so many full moons shining under the azure sky. 29. As she turned and tossed her sable hands on every side, she seemed as a dark cloud moving about in the sky; and the lustre of her nails, appeared to shed the splendour of stars all around. 30. The face of the sky resembled a forest ground, occupied by the black arbours of her two sable arms; and her outstretched fingers resembling the twigs of the trees, were covered over by the blossoms of their pearly nails, which waved as flowers in azure sky. 31. With her legs taller than the tallest _tála_ and _tamála_ trees, she stalked over the burning earth, and put to shame the largest trees that grew upon it (and kept burning without being able to move). 32. The long and flowing hairs on her head, reached to and spread over the skies; and seemed about to form black vestures for the dark elephantine clouds, moving about in the empty air. 33. She breathed from her nostrils a rapid gale of wind, which bore the mountains aloft in the air; and blew great gales in the sky; resounding with loud repeals from all sides of its boundless spheres. 34. The breath of her nostrils and mouth, blew in unison all about the circle of the universe; and kept the great sphere in its constant rotation, as it were in its enharmonic progression. 35. I then came to perceive, as I looked on her with attention, that her stature was enlarging with her dancing, till at last I found it to fill the whole space of the air and sky. 36. And as long I continued to behold her in her dancing state, I saw the great mountains pendant all about her body, as if they were a string of jewels around her person.
