कालदण्डाद्यमो दण्डं पाशं चाम्बुपतिर्ददौ । प्रजापतिश्चाक्षमालां ददौ ब्रह्मा कमण्डलुम् ॥ २३ ॥
kāladaṇḍādyamo daṇḍaṁ pāśhaṁ chāmbupatirdadau prajāpatiśhchākṣhamālāṁ dadau brahmā kamaṇḍalum
Translation
Yama gave her a staff from his staff of death; Varuna, lord of waters, a noose; Prajapati a rosary; and Brahma a water-pot.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यमराज ने अपने कालदंड से दंड, जलपति वरुण ने पाश, प्रजापति ने अक्षमाला और ब्रह्मा ने कमंडलु दिया।
Commentary
The rosary and water-pot are gifts of spiritual life, not war. The Devi carries both: the weapons of battle and the tools of prayer.
