The major left hand of the goddess pushes down on the chest of the demon attempting to escape from the decapitated buffalo-carcass. Her uplifted right foot is planted on the rump of the carcass while her major right hand plunges a trident into the demon s head . Her additional hand holds the chakra and the parasu or an ankusha. The arrow is no longer held in the hand near the uplifted right knee but is being drawn from a quiver behind her shoulder. The sheild is frequently held in one of the lower left hands or when rectangular in shape is strapped to the major left armed and often strikes the chest of the demon. The naga-phasa is represented choking the demon. Other object which may be had in the hands include a bell, a severed head or a karti.
