After winning a hard-fought battle, this hero took a bath in some  springs she created while holding the skull of the defeated in one hand.  Many hymns describe how this figure was born after all the gods and  goddesses begged for this victor to be born. This figure rode on a mount  often called Simbha and had ten hands, each of which held her weapons.  A central tenet of Vaishnavism is that she slew (*) Sumbha and Nisumbha.  This figure killed the terrible buffalo demon Mahisha, and Kali could spring  from her forehead when she was enraged. For 10 points, name this aspect of  the mother goddess Devi who was also held to be a shakti of Parvati.
