DURGATINASHINI - GODDESS OF PRESERVATION 🔱🦁

I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, 1st of those who merit worship. Thus gods have established me in many places with many homes to enter & abide in. I reside in the essence of the Universe. Hear, one & all, the truth as I declare it. I, verily, myself announce & utter the word that gods & men alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceedingly mighty, nourished, a sage, & one who knows Brahman. I bend the bow for Rudra, that his arrow may strike, & slay the hater of devotion. I rouse & order battle for the people, I created Earth & Heaven & reside as their Inner Controller. On the world's summit I bring forth sky the Father: my home is in the waters, as Mother. Thence I pervade all existing creatures, as their Inner Supreme Self, & manifest them with my body. I created all worlds at my will, without any higher being,& permeate & dwell within them. The eternal & infinite consciousness is I, it is my greatness dwelling in everything. Art by @theeditorpanda
