One day all the gods praised Adivakti Shri Jagdamba Matthwari, which pleased the mother to appear in the form of a child. Upon hearing the miseries of Gods, the mother expanded her appearance, with thousands of hands-on her legs. All the deities gave their weapon to Adishakti. Vishnu chakra, Shiva offered Trishul, Brahma kamandal, Indra Vajra, Sheshnag gave the balance, Yama Raj and Yamphans, etc. to Artha Mata. After this, Mother Jagdamba landed on the battlefield and was destroyed at the place of Kalka land, by destroying other demons including Mahishasur, which became famous in the name of Kali Mata in Kalka.
