¹⁴⁰ The beauty of Śakti lies in the coincidence of her form and meaning, it is a projection of her image as it is in God, into visibility by means of art. Her perfection is not only in her dance of productive intentness (Pls. XXI, XXII), but also in her destructive will as the dancer of death. Cāmuṇḍā, the seventh Mātṛkā, is carved as a dancer, on mediæval temples (Bhūleśvar Temple, 'Bulletin of the Deccan College Research Inst.', vol. IV. Fig. 7) ; and in earlier reliefs.
