It is told that after Ravana was killed, Mother-Sita told Lord Rama that whoever slays Sahatrananda will be the real hero.On this, Lordu00a0Ramau00a0went out to kill him. During the war, Lord Rama got an arrow from Sahasranand. Mother Sita became very angry about this and killed Sahastranand. Mother's color turned black with anger. Even after the slaughter, his anger did not calm down, so Lord Shiva himself had to come to stop him. As soon as the feet were placed on the Lord's chest, the mother was very ashamed and the tongue came out of her mouth. This form of Mother is worshiped and she is called here Kali, not Shyama.
