Śrī Kāmākṣī–Mahātripurasundarī: Immanence of Śakti and Cosmic Administration
Lalitopākhyāna
तत्र काशीं समालोक्य किमेतदिति चिन्तयन् / स मुहुर्तं स्थितस्तूष्णीं नखलीनकपालकः
tatra kāśīṃ samālokya kimetaditi cintayan / sa muhurtaṃ sthitastūṣṇīṃ nakhalīnakapālakaḥ
There, beholding Kāśī, he pondered, “What is this?” For a moment he stood in silence, the kapāla—skull-bowl—caught upon the tip of his nail.
