Her glances bestow joy to Devatas, sages and humans. Guha worships her delicate feet. She has resplendence of crores of Suns. She adorns crown and other ornaments. She presides over "Sri Chakra" along with Saktis like Syamala and Kolavadana. She is Kamesvari with beautiful black tresses which subdue black clouds. She as Sakti has holy union with Siva. Her neck is more beautiful than conch. She holds lotus. Her appearences are many.
