vyāptaṃ tayaitatsakalaṃ brahmāṇḍaṃ manujeśvara /
mahākālyā mahākāle mahākārīsvarūpayā //

All this egg of Brahmā, O king, is pervaded by her, who is Mahākālī at Māhākāla,[7] and who has the nature of the Great Destroying Goddess.[8] She indeed is Mahāmārī at the fated time; she indeed is creation, the Unborn; she indeed the Eternal gives stability to created beings at their fated time. She indeed is Lakṣmī, bestowing prosperity on the houses of men while 37 she abides with them; and she indeed when she is absent becomes the goddess of Ill Fortune[9] unto their destruction. When hymned and worshipped with flowers, and with incense, perfumes and other offerings, she bestows wealth and sons, and a mind brilliant in righteousness.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
