Durga Saptashati — Chapter 3, Verse 9

Mahishasura Vadha

चिक्षेप च ततस्तत्तु भद्रकाल्यां महासुरः । जाज्वल्यमानं तेजोभी रविबिम्बमिवाम्बरात् ॥ ९ ॥

chikṣhepa cha tatastattu bhadrakālyāṁ mahāsuraḥ jājvalyamānaṁ tejobhī ravibimbamivāmbarāt

Translation

and the great asura hurled it at Bhadrakali, blazing with light like the orb of the sun falling from the sky.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

और उस महादैत्य ने उसे भद्रकाली पर फेंका, जो आकाश से गिरते सूर्य-मंडल की तरह तेज से जल रहा था।

Commentary

Bhadrakali, "auspicious Kali," is another name for the Devi. Even in battle she is bhadra, auspicious, for those she protects.
