Bhārgava-Charita
बभूव पुष्पमालां च तच्छूलं नृपतेर्गले / ददर्श च पुरस्तस्य भद्रकालीं जगत्प्रसूम्
babhūva puṣpamālāṃ ca tacchūlaṃ nṛpatergale / dadarśa ca purastasya bhadrakālīṃ jagatprasūm
That trident became a garland of flowers upon the king’s neck; and before him he beheld Bhadrakālī, the Mother who brings forth the worlds.
