"Obeisance unto Thee, 0, bestower of boons! Dark-hued Kumari ' Reveler in the Vedas! Resplendent likes the rising sun,  With face lovely like the full moon. For the safety of the three worlds Didst Thou kill the demon Mahisha. Mayest Thou be ever present to me, 0, great among Divine Ones!  Show mercy unto me and bless me."     - Mahabharata.
