介绍（中）	这是描绘十大智慧女神（Ten Mahavidyas）的五幅版画之一，完成了大都会博物馆收藏的这套作品。Mahavidyas是伟大女神（mahadevi）的密宗化身，类似于毗湿奴的十个化身，是湿婆能量Shakti的化身。纸上有两个场景：左边是布瓦涅什瓦里女神，被尊为知识力量的化身。因此，她相当于密宗的Sarasvati，在密宗仪式的口头和视觉唤起中都有表现。右边是巴加拉。她的全名是Bagalamukhi，翻译过来就是"检查嘴巴的人"，意思是沉默言语，静止思想。她通常被称为"瘫痪者"在后来的密宗瑜伽中，她与冥想呼吸控制（调息）的练习联系在一起。作为"麻痹敌人的女神"，巴加拉在这里被描绘成挥舞着球杆，用举起的球杆（gada）杀死袭击者，同时扯下他的舌头，让他沉默（"检查他的嘴"）。
介绍（英）	This is the one of five prints depicting the Ten Mahavidyas (“Great Wisdom” goddesses), and completes the set in the Met’s collection. The Mahavidyas are tantric manifestations of the great goddess (mahadevi), analogous to the ten avatars of Vishnu, and are personifications of Shakti, Shiva’s energy. Two scenes occupy the sheet: on the left, the goddess Bhuvaneshvari, worshipped as the embodiment of the power of knowledge. She is thus the tantric equivalent of Sarasvati, represented in both spoken and visual evocations in tantric ritual. In the right panel is Bagala. Her full name is Bagalamukhi which translates as “the one who checks the mouth,” to silence speech and still the mind. She is popularly referred to as the ‘Paralyzer.’ In later tantric yoga she is associated with the practice of meditative breath control (pranayama). As the “goddess who paralyzes her enemies,” Bagala is depicted here wielding a club in the act of slaying her assailant armed with a raised club (gada) while ripping out his tongue, to silence him (“to check his mouth”).
