Paragraph 55

In plain words

"Is that Primal Power female or male? Once, in my part of the country, I saw Kali worshipped in the house of the Lahas. They had hung a sacred thread on the Mother's neck! Someone asked why the Mother wore a sacred thread. Then he said to the man whose household deity it was, 'Brother, you have known the Mother rightly, but I know nothing about it, whether She is male or female.'
