This scene from the Devi Mahatmaya shows the devas with their hands folded in humility, beseeching the goddess to help them. The goddess, seated on a lotus, calmly assures them that she will assist them in times of trouble. Her vahana, the tiger, is seated by her side. The present lot shows the goddess in her benevolent form, in contrast to other lots, in which she is seen battling over demons who have caused havoc in heaven.
