Kali was Shiva's daughter. High priestess of Thuggees, indian goddess of black magic.
Oh Kali! Why dost Thou roam about nude?
Art Thou not ashamed. Mother!
Garb and ornaments Thou hast none; yet Thou
pridest in being King's daughter.
Oh Mother! Is it a virtue of Thy family that
Thou placest thy feet on Thy Husband?
Thou are nude; Thy Husband is nude;
You both roam cremation grounds.
Oh Mother! We are all ashamed of you;
Do put on Thy garb.
Thou hast cast away Thy necklace of jewels,
Mother, and worn a garland of human heads.
Ramprasad Sen
