"The title for this image was always a problem," Allio explained. "I knew it was inspired by a
creature in mythology or religion, but the appropriate title was elusive until I happened upon the following
reference in a book on Indian religion. Upon reading this footnote, the title and image were
finally united."
From the book Autobiography of a Yogi:
"Kali represents the Eternal Principle in nature. She is traditionally pictured as a four-armed woman.
The four arms symbolize cardinal attributes: two beneficent, two destructive; the essential duality
of matter or creation."
