9.24.23

punaśca cetanāṃ prāpya punaḥ sā tamuvāca ha |
tulasyuvāca |
he nātha te dayā nāsti pāṣāṇasadṛśasya ca ||

O Lord! Thou art like a stone. Thou hast no mercy. By hypocrisy Thou hast destroyed my chastity, my virtue and for that reason didst kill my husband. O Lord! Thou had no mercy; Thy heart is like a stone. So Let Thee be turned into a stone. Those who declare Thee as a saint, are no doubt mistaken. Why didst Thou for the sake of others, kill without any fault, another Bhakta of Thine. Thus speaking, Tulasî overpowered with grief and sorrow, cried aloud and repeatedly gave vent to lamentations. Seeing her thus very distressed, Nârâyana, the Ocean of Mercy, spoke to her to cheer her up according to the rules of Dharma.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
