   • Ash pointed at Colt. “Are you listening to this psycho, Eve? Just a month ago you strapped him to a boulder and tried to force-feed him an ocean, and now he wants to throw your soul—our souls—back into the clay to make some supergoddess so he can play house with her." 2012, Karsten Knight, Embers & Echoes, Simon & Schuster, →ISBN, page 451:
   • Callisto also appeals to Venus, who is favorable to all forms of true affection and to the lion’s great sense of family love. Juno is often inclined in this direction as well and, as concerns your diamond, nods toward Hydra who attacked her old enemy Hercules. These two supergoddesses play a radiant role in your sphere, often turning the lion into a “wolf” of romance. The lioness population of this diamond is especially pampered by these famous lady gods, stimulating the feminine mystique. 1973, Owen S. Rachleff, Sky Diamonds: The New Astrology, Hawthorn Books, page 188:
   • They both repair to a hermitage where a sage explains that their helplessness is due to the power of Mahamāyā which makes the force of irrational instincts greater than that of merely intellectual reason. The spririt is initially bound by Mahāmāyā as tamas or inertia and in this form she is symbolised as Mahākālī. As Mahdlaksmi she is the light of all the gods aggregated as a supergoddess and destroys the demons Caṇḍa and Muṇḍa. As Māhādsarasvatī she kills the demons Śumbha and Niṥumbha. Through the worship of Mahāmayā one gains success in this world as well as emancipation hereafter. 1990, Govind Chandra Pande, Foundations of Indian Culture, Motilal Banarsidass Publishers, →ISBN, page 219:
