Varaha Purana 96.65: Adhyaya 96, Shloka 65
The Threefold Power: The Raudrī Observance and the Manifestation of Chāmuṇḍā
एषैत्र कृष्णा तमसि रौद्री देवी प्रकीर्तिता ॥ परमात्मा यथा देव एक एव त्रिधा स्थितः ॥
eṣaitra kṛṣṇā tamasi raudrī devī prakīrtitā || paramātmā yathā deva eka eva tridhā sthitaḥ ||
Hier, in der Dunkelheit des Tamas, wird die Göttin als Raudrī, von dunkler Gestalt, verkündet; so wie der Paramātman—ein einziges göttliches Prinzip—dreifach verweilt.
