In the army of the demon brothers Shumbha and Nishumbha was a demon named Raktabija, who held a boon: from every drop of his blood that fell to the ground, another demon like him would arise.\n\nWhenever the Goddess's powers struck him, his blood flowed and thousands of Raktabijas sprang up. The whole field filled with his likenesses, and the gods trembled with fear.\n\nThen Ambika said to Kali: \"Chamunda, open your mouth wide. When my weapons strike, catch every drop of blood before it touches the ground.\" Kali did so, and swallowed those newly born as well. Since no blood touched the earth, no new demons were born, and at last Raktabija weakened and fell.\n\nThe inner meaning of the story is that evil which is reborn from every drop must be destroyed at the root. Anger and enmity, once answered in kind, multiply many times over; victory lies in not letting them fall to the ground.\n\nThis verse's field running with blood becomes, in the Goddess's battle, a war to stop evil from multiplying.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0baa\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe? \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"Has a small anger in your life multiplied into a larger enmity?
