Mother,

Mother,
You're always finding ways to amuse Yourself. Syama, You stream of nectar, through Your deluding power You forge a horrible face and adorn Yourself with a necklace of skulls. The earth quakes under Your leaps and bounds. You are frightful with that sword in Your hand. At other times You take a flirtatious pose, and then, Mother, even the God of Love is undone! Your form is inconceivable and undecaying. Narayani, Tripura, Tara -- You are beyond the three qualities yet composed of them. You are terrifying, You are black, You are beautiful. Thus assuming various forms, You fulfill wishes of Your worshipers. Sometimes You even dance Brahman, Eternal One in the lotus heart of Kamalakanta.
