Sanskrit Original
द्वात्रिंशद्गुणसंयुक्ताम ईश्वरीं सर्वतोमुखीम। स तां दृष्ट्वा महातेजा महादेवीं महेश्वरीम।।
dvātriṃśadguṇasaṃyuktām īśvarīṃ sarvatomukhīm| sa tāṃ dṛṣṭvā mahātejā mahādevīṃ maheśvarīm||
Sūta said: The cow was goddess herself who had faces all round and who possessed thirty-two qualities. On seeing the great goddess in the form of the cow, the great lord who is worshipped by all devas said again repeating the words: ‘O great goddess, symbol of intellect and memory, come on, come on.’ [Thus addressed] she joined her palms in reverence to the lord and stood there. Then the lord of devas spoke to her. [O goddess,] enveloping the universe by your yogic power you should keep it under your control. You will be Umā for the welfare of the brahmins and for the attainment of their goal (of liberation).
