Varaha Purana 96.33: Adhyaya 96, Shloka 33
The Threefold Power: The Raudrī Observance and the Manifestation of Chāmuṇḍā
सर्वाः शूलधरा भीमाः सर्वाश्चापधराः शुभाः ॥ ताः स कटीशो देव्यस्तदेवेष्टय संस्थिताः ॥
sarvāḥ śūladharā bhīmāḥ sarvāś cāpadharāḥ śubhāḥ || tāḥ sa kaṭīśo devyas tad-eveṣṭaya saṃsthitāḥ ||
सब देवियाँ भयानक थी और उनके हाथ में त्रिशूल था। सबके पास धनुष भी था और वो शुभ थी। वो सब देवियाँ उस देवी के पास खड़ी थी, उसके आस-पास।
