Legend of Goddess of War
Time turned very sour, for Gods and heavens,
devils destroyed heavens, with evil wishes and whims;
Gods left the heavens, in anguish, and in large processions,
supreme goddess was appealed, with incessant hymns.
Supreme Goddess arose, as Goddess of war,
assumed powers and weapons of deities, in the helm;
Riding on a mighty lion, with a thunderous roar,
Goddess went to war, to recapture the realm.
Weapons of the devils, were broken as bits,
powers of devils, were beaten into dust;
Devils were destroyed, in immense scorching blitz,
Supreme Goddess re-established, the heavens and the trust.
Primal energy arose, from Supreme Goddess,
protects and nourishes creation, as Mother Goddess.
