I am known by the name of Virabhadra and I have originated from the anger of Rudra. This lady who is called Bhadrakali, has originated from the anger of the goddess. We have both been sent by that god of gods, and we have accordingly come here.
वीरभद्र इति ख्यातो रुद्रकोपाद् विनिःसृतः॥ भद्रकालीति विख्याता देव्याः कोपाद् विनिःसृता। प्रेषितौ देवदेवेन यज्ञान्तिकमिहागतौ॥
