DEVI BHAAGAVATAM - SKANDA 5
5#26a. ChaamuNdi Devi (1)
ChaNdan and MuNdan went to meet Devi and Kaali with their large army. They asked Kaali, “Did you dare to come here all alone trusting this young woman and her lion? Can these two match and become equal to the valour and power of Sumban and Nisumban?
He asked Devi now, “Did you come her because you have eighteen arms? Did you come her because of you arrogance and conceit? Sumbaasuran had severed the trunk of the mighty Airaavat- the elephant of Indra. His might is unlimited.
You sing in a voice which will put to shame the cuckoos. You are very beautiful to look at. And yet you want a war! A war of valour is fought between two male members. The war between a male and a female is the war of love.
We have two types of friends those who wish our welfare and those who wish their own welfare. I wish your welfare. So listen to me now. Accept Sumbaasuran as your husband. He is attractive, handsome, brave and the king of the Asuraa clan. ” Devi could not tolerate this nonsense any more and let out a loud roar similar to the roar of her pet lion.
She said,” I am the Mother of the universe. I support everything here. I do not require a husband or anyone else to give my happiness. In fact every joy and pleasure enjoyed by any living thing is actually enjoyed by me!”
