介绍（中）	卡马拉和拜拉维是十个马哈维迪亚或黛维的伟大表现中的两个（女神的神化方面，从太平洋到凶猛）。在左边，四头大象在诱惑女神，她在下面的标签中被标识为卡马拉。她的两只左手拿着莲花，右上手在abhaya mudra（安慰），右下手在varada手印（祝福）。她坐在莲花上，事实上，她的名字的意思是"莲花的她"，是女神拉克希米的绰号。卡玛拉是繁荣、生育和运气的带来者，她与拉克希米（Lakshmi）共有所有这些特征，拉克希米也是大象所诱惑的女神。右边贴有标签的Mahavidya Bhairavi左下手拿着一本书，右上手拿着一个mala（这里藏在覆盖手端的小袋子里）。她脖子上的头骨花环暗示了这位女神的可怕本性，她是湿婆的凶猛形式Bhairava的女性方面。在这里，她被描绘成一个在山地景观中平静而美丽的女人。这个人物的举止说明了她作为和平的帕瓦蒂的双重角色，而她的武器则暗示了她可怕的一面。 Bhairavi被认为杀死了恶魔Sumbha和Nishumbha。
介绍（英）	Kamala and Bhairavi are two of the ten Mahavidyas or great manifestations of Devi (deified aspects of the goddess that range from pacific to ferocious). On the left, four elephants lustrate the goddess who is identified in a below label as Kamala. She holds lotuses in her two left hands while her upper right is in the abhaya mudra (reassurance) and her lower right is in the varada mudra (boon giving). She sits on a lotus and in fact, her name means “she of the lotus”, an epithet of the goddess Lakshmi. Kamala is a bringer of prosperity, fertility and luck, all characteristics she shares with Lakshmi, a goddess that is also lustrated by elephants. The labeled Mahavidya Bhairavi, on the right, holds a book in her lower left hand and a mala in her upper right (here hidden within a small bag that covers the end of her hand). The garland of skulls around her neck hints at the terrible nature of this goddess who is the female aspect of Bhairava, a ferocious form of Shiva. Here she is shown as a calm and beautiful woman in a mountain landscape. The demeanor of the figure speaks to her dual role as the peaceful Parvati, while her weapons allude to her terrible aspect. Bhairavi is credited with slaying the demons Sumbha and Nishumbha.
