ॐ महामार्यै नमः
Om Mahamaryai Namah
Tika by Jankinath Kaul Kamal: "The Deity of choleraic diseases. Shreemati Bhavani-Devi presides over cholera which in spiritual parlance connotes the effect of egoism.
It is egoism that deters the progress of a sadhaka and crashes him to affliction.
In this form Shreemati Bhavani-Devi conceals Her own Reality to the egoist".
