Śrī Vināyaka said:: At that time, Kālī went ahead of Gaṇeśa along with the intoxicated Piśācas and Gaṇas. She had skulls for her ornaments. She was whirling in her hand a trident that shone like Kālarātri. She was intoxicated by drinking the blood of Asuras which tasted like wine (unto her). She made the leading Asuras tremble. She had the gait of the elephant in rut. Her eyes were tremulous due to inebriation. Her body was covered with the hide of the elephant.
