Devi

Devi became a performer, touring internationally and stunning observers with her feats, which outpaced computers in the 1970s and ’80s.

Their most important joint project, though, is protecting their youngest sister, free-spirited Devi.

Born on July 7—a “luckless birthdate” associated with “many undefinable threats”—Devi seems fated for calamity.

The sudden violence casts a threat on the safety not just of Devi but of the entire neighborhood.

I noticed that my three main characters, Sarita, Karun and Jaz, formed a trinity just like Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi.

Which left the villain Bhim to engineer the Karun-Devi union somehow (D5, D6).

Before dawn great preparations were being made for a grand festival in honour of the great idol Devi.

Now, it was in this head that the soul was placed, so the devi came out on to the shore, full of wrath.

From the sea there staggered forth the last ten-headed devi, and hid under a tree.

As each devi awoke he went to the boy, but the lame devi took care of them.

For a long time the other devis waited for their lame brother; they watched, but no lame devi was to be seen.
