भद्रा चैव महाशक्तिः सिंहारा च महाबला । एताश्चान्याश्च बहवः कथितुं नैव शक्यते
bhadrā caiva mahāśaktiḥ siṃhārā ca mahābalā | etāścānyāśca bahavaḥ kathituṃ naiva śakyate
Bhadrā juga ada di sana, demikian pula Mahāśakti dan Siṃhārā yang amat perkasa. Mereka ini dan banyak lagi Dewi lainnya—sesungguhnya tidak mungkin dihuraikan semuanya.
