The ṛṣi spoke:
“Be it so” said the adorable wielder of the conch, discus and club, and cutting[24] them with his discus clove them both asunder, heads and buttocks. Thus was she born when praised by Brahmā himself. Now listen again, I tell thee of this goddess’ majesty.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
