5.31.48

prekṣikāhaṃ sthitā mūḍha kuru kālikayā mṛdham |
cāmuṇḍayā vā kurvete tava yogye raṇāṅgaṇe ||

O Stupid One! Why are you so much distressed with passion? O Fool! If your hand does not come forward to strike weapons at Me, then fight with this ugly Kâlikâ or Châmundâ; they are your best compeers in the battlefield; they will fight with you; I will stand as a mere Witness. Thus saying, the Devî Bhagavatî said to Kâlikâ, in sweet words:-- “O Kâlikâ! Your nature is fierce; this S’umbha likes also the fierce; so kill him.”

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
