When Vishnu woke up he started a war against the two demons. The deity of the first chapter of Devi Mahatmyam is Mahakali, who appears from the body of sleeping Vishnu as goddess Yoga Nidra to wake him up in order to protect Brahma and the World from two demons, Madhu and Kaitabha. Her most well-known appearance is on the battlefield in the sixth century Devi Mahatmyam. Īccording to David Kinsley, Kāli is first mentioned in Hindu tradition as a distinct goddess around 600 AD, and these texts "usually place her on the periphery of Hindu society or on the battlefield." : 70 She is often regarded as the Shakti of Shiva, and is closely associated with him in various Puranas. Origins Īlthough the word Kālī appears as early as the Atharva Veda, the first use of it as a proper name is in the Kathaka Grhya Sutra (19.7). Kālī is also the feminine form of Kāla (an epithet of Shiva) and thus the consort of Shiva.
She is called Kali Mata ("the dark mother") and also kālī which can be read here either as a proper name or as a description "the dark blue one". The homonym kāla (appointed time) is distinct from kāla (black), but these became associated through popular etymology. By extension, time as "changing aspect of nature that bring things to life or death". Kālī is the feminine form of "time" or "the fullness of time" with the masculine noun "kāla", which is a name of Lord Shiva. She is completely naked, denoting that she is above this material world. Both of her right hands are in abhay mudra, denoting that she is a kind mother, who protects and nurtures her children. In her lower hand, she is holding a severed head denoting ego, which Kali hates. She is four armed, holding a Kharag, in her top left arm, denoting strength.

Her skin color appears to be dark, and she is wearing a garland of 50 skulls, denoting the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. Kali is portrayed standing on Lord Shiva, with her right foot forward. She is also seen as the divine protector and the one who bestows moksha or liberation. Shakta Hindu and Tantric sects additionally worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahman. Over time, Kali has been worshipped by devotional movements and tantric sects variously as the Divine Mother, Mother of the Universe, Adi Shakti, or Parvati. She destroys the evil in order to protect the innocent. She is the ultimate manifestation of Shakti and the mother of all living beings. Kali's earliest appearance is when she emerged from Lord Shiva.
She is also said to be the Parvati, that is the supreme of all powers, or the ultimate reality. Kali ( / ˈ k ɑː l iː/ Sanskrit: काली, IAST: Kālī), also known as Dakshina Kālikā ( Sanskrit: दक्षिण कालिका), is a Hindu goddess, who is considered to be the Master of death, time and change.
