She is the consort of Bhairava, the god of consciousness, the basis of reality and existence.

  • Mahakali (Sanskrit: Mahākālī, Devanagari: महाकाली), diterjemahkan secara harfiah sebagai Kali Besar, adalah Dewi Hindu waktu dan kematian, dianggap sebagai permaisuri Mahakala, dewa kesadaran, dasar realitas dan eksistensi. Mahakali dalam bahasa Sansekerta secara etimologis adalah varian feminin dari Mahakala atau Waktu Agung (yang ditafsirkan juga sebagai Kematian), sebuah julukan dewa Siwa dalam agama Hindu. Mahakali adalah bentuk Adi parashakti, yang berada di luar ruang dan waktu. Kali adalah kekuatan kemarahan Adi parashakti dan karena itu warnanya hitam. Dia adalah aspek terbesar dari Kali yang banyak umat Hindu pegang sebagai Ibu Ilahi. (in)

  • All this egg of Brahmā, O king, is pervaded by her, who is Mahākālī at Māhākāla, and who has the nature of the Great Destroying Goddess. She indeed is Mahāmārī at the fated time; she indeed is creation, the Unborn; she indeed the Eternal gives stability to created beings at their fated time. She indeed is Lakṣmī, bestowing prosperity on the houses of men while she abides with them; and she indeed when she is absent becomes the goddess of Fortune unto their destruction. When hymned and worshipped with flowers, and with incense, perfumes and other offerings, she bestows wealth and sons, and a mind brilliant in righteousness. (en)
  • Maha Lakshmi is the supreme mistress of the three qualities, and visibly or invisibly pervades all things; she displays in her four hands a citron, a mace, a shield, and a goblet, and, refulgent as burnished gold, fills all space with her splendour. From her substance she separated the quality of darkness, and gave it the form of a female black as collyrium, with large eyes, terrible tusks, a slender waist, and bearing in her hands a cimiter, a cup, a head, and a shield, and adorned with human and serpent heads. This form of darkness then thus spoke to Maha Lakshmi :- 'Praise be to thee, O mother! assign to me names and functions.' Maha Lakshmi replied: -- I give to thee as names Mahabhaya, Mahakali, Mahamari, bunger, thirst, sleep, night, Ekavira, Kalarattri, and Chandika, these shall be thy names, and from them thou wilt know what functions thou hast to perform.
