It is believed that she is the destructor of all evils and all men should pay homage to her and offer salutation to her. She is considered the ever victorious and ever irresistible in the three worlds.

The Mantra states that the Goddess should be propitiated in connection with an act of victory or with any act undertaken to ensure victory in war, and should be meditated upon as possessed of a blue complexion and twenty hands and as standing on the dead bodies of men.

It has been advised in the Mantra that Nyasa should be performed over the five different parts of the body and oblations composed of red flowers and clarified butter should be offered in the consecrated fire.
