An image sat of the original power
Wearing the mighty Mother’s form and face.
Armed bearer of the weapon and the sign
Whose occult might no magic can imitate,
Manifold yet one she sat, a guardian force:
A saviour gesture stretched her lifted arm,
And symbol of some native cosmic strength,
A sacred beast lay prone below her feet,
A silent flame-eyed mass of living force.
(Savitri, Book 7 Canto 5)
