Ripumāri-Durgā is of red complexion and with a terrific look. In one hand she carries the \*triśūla\*, while the other is held in the \*tarjani\* pose. If her mantra is repeated ten thousand times, all the while concentrating the mind on her as being placed in the \*Sūrya-bimba\* (the disc of the sun), she is believed to effect the destruction of enemies and their followers.
