  3. Dasha Mahavidyas- Part I

  4. Perhaps the most intriguing and esoteric manifestation of different forms of the Goddess are the ten Mahavidya-s, who hold a preeminent position of great practical prominence in the Shakta traditions particularly of North India. Though it is believed that they emerged at a much later date, some of the Mahavidyas have acquired tremendous prominence as individual deities and have elaborate worship methodology and dedicated traditions centered around them.

  5. The most common list of these 10 Mahavidyas are as follows: Kali, Tara, Sodashi, Bhuvaneshwari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, DhoomavatiBagalamukhi, Matangi, and Kamala. However, this is not the final or fixed progression because certain traditions do have variations in the number and placement of the Mahavidyas.

  6. The Todala Tantra says Bagalamukhi relates to KurmaAvatara, Dhoomavati to Varaha, Chinnamasta to Narasimha, Bhuvaneshwari to Vamana, Parashurama to Tripura, Matangi to Rama, Bhairavi to Balarama, Mahalakshmi to Buddha, Kali to Krshna and Durga to Kalkiavatara. While Tara relates to the blue form.
