介绍（中）	Dhumavati和Matangi是十个Mahavidyas或Devi的伟大表现中的两个（女神的神化方面，从太平洋到凶猛）。左边的Dhumavati的标记图像显示为一个年迈的寡妇，头发没有束缚，拿着一个风选框。她乘坐的马车上栖息着多只乌鸦，这清楚地参考了她的vahana（车辆），因为她骑乌鸦更典型。Dhumavati（梵语中的字面意思是"烟熏的"）表现出宇宙的消解，并与不吉利和不吸引人的事情有关。尽管如此，她仍然是一个神灵，被认为将一个人从麻烦中拯救出来或帮助击败敌人。右边贴有标签的Mahavidya Matangi是一个美丽的女人，她拿着山羊，剑，棍棒和绞索。她的脚下坐着一个手鼓，这个属性暗示了她作为萨拉斯瓦蒂的密宗形式的地位，萨拉斯瓦蒂是分享这一属性的学习和知识女神。Matangi是一位凶猛的神灵，她使她的追随者能够控制他们的敌人，掌握艺术并获得知识。这位女神与污染有关，被描述为被抛弃的人。她未束缚的头发暗示了这些方面。出于这个原因，在仪式中，她被提供不纯洁的、剩余的、部分吃掉的食物，没有洗手。
介绍（英）	Dhumavati and Matangi are two of the ten Mahavidyas or great manifestations of Devi (deified aspects of the goddess that range from pacific to ferocious). The labeled image of Dhumavati to the left is shown as an aged widow with unbound hair who holds a winnowing frame. Multiple crows are perched on the carriage she rides, which clearly reference her vahana (vehicle) as more typically she rides a crow. Dhumavati (literally “the smoky one” in Sanskrit) manifests cosmic dissolution and is associated with inauspicious and unattractive things. Still she is a deity who is credited with rescuing one from troubles or aiding the defeat of foes. The labeled Mahavidya Matangi on the right takes the form of a beautiful woman who holds a goad, sword, club and noose. A tambura sits at her feet, an attribute that alludes to her position as the tantric form of Sarasvati, the goddess of learning and knowledge who shares this attribute. Matangi is a ferocious deity who enables her followers to control their enemies, acquire mastery in the arts and to gain knowledge. This goddess is associated with pollution and is described as an outcaste. Her unbound hair hints at these aspects. For this reason, in ritual, she is offered impure, leftover, partially-eaten food with unwashed hands.
