Devi Mahatmya - Day 4: Chapter 7

On the day 4 of Navaratri the battle between the Goddess Mahasarasvati and the demons continues. In Chapter 7 demons Chanda and Munda are being slain by Her, while She assumes a fierce, dark-complexioned aspect of Kali and swiftly conquers the demon army. Kali, who swallows the entire armies like a dark night of dissolution, represents within us the divine power to withdraw and neutralise all our negativities and attachments, so our mind can return to its state of stillness, and so our inner chatter can stop.
