Description of Mata Durga

She has three eyes; Her hue is like that of red sindhura; the diadem of precious stones She wears has a crescent on it shining wonderfully.

That She is easily accessible is indicated by Her benign smile; Her children have an inexhaustible store of the milk of life in Her full breasts; the vessel of honey in one hand and the red lotus in the other symbolize joy and wisdom of which She alone in the source; and Her feet placed on the precious pot full of valuable gems indicate that these are not difficult for those who surrender to Her feet and take refuge in Her.

I meditate on Sri Bhavani who is seated in the lotus of expansive countenance, Whose eyes are like lotus petals, who is golden-hued, who wears a yellow raiment, who has in her hand lotus flowers of gold, who always dispels fear, whose devotees bow before her, who is the embodiment of peace, who is Sri Vidya Herself who is praised by the gods, and who gives every wealth that is sought...

I meditate on the Mother whose eyes are smiling a little, who has in Her hands the arrow, the bow, the noose and goad, who bewitches everybody, who is glittering with red garlands and ornaments, who is painted with vermillion, whose forehead is kissed with the mark of musk and who is red and tender like the japa flower...

I mediate on the great Empress who is light red in color, whose eyes are full of compassion, who has in Her hands the noose, the goad, the bow and the flowery arrow and who is surrounded on all sides by powers, such as 'anima,' like rays, as if She is the Self within me...
