Durga Saptashati — Chapter 8, Verse 14

Raktabija Vadha

यस्य देवस्य यद्रूपं यथाभूषणवाहनम् । तद्वदेव हि तच्छक्तिरसुरान् योद्धुमाययौ ॥ १४ ॥

yasya devasya yadrūpaṁ yathābhūṣhaṇavāhanam tadvadeva hi tachchhaktirasurān yoddhumāyayau

Translation

Whatever form each god had, with his own ornaments and vehicle, his shakti came in just that form to fight the asuras.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

जिस देवता का जैसा रूप, जैसी वेशभूषा और जैसा वाहन था, ठीक वैसे ही उसकी शक्ति असुरों से युद्ध करने आई।

Commentary

The Matrikas mirror their gods exactly. This became the basis of the iconography of the Saptamatrikas (Seven Mothers) found in many temples.
