The Divine Mother shows great joy
(rejoices) at the killing of demon Vishanga in battle by Goddess Mantrini (Shyamala
Devi).
Bhanda got a boon from Lord Siva that
he can create different demons at his will. He created Vishukra (his army
commander) from his right shoulder. Vishnga
(his Minister) from his left shoulder. These two demons were considered
as brothers. Goddess Mantrini (Shyamala Devi) killed this Vishnga in the
battle.
Vishnga can be understood in two
ways. One is for attachment to or desire for worldly pleasures. The other one
is poisonous in essence. At first all the worldly enjoyments through the
sensory organs will look like the nectar (ambrosia or amrita) but will turn
into poison later for a person seeking liberation.
Goddess Mantrini (Shyamala Devi)
killed Vishanga. The Divine Mother is pleased very much.
