After the slaying of Chand-Mund, Shumbh Nishumbh
sent an extremely cunning demon named Raktbeej. This demon had the unique
capability to regenerate as a completely new self from any of his blood
droplets which would fall on the earth.
He is a personification of the cause and effect of our karmic cycle. We release our Karmas through two ways, one is Sadhna and the other is peacefully suffering in pain and learning the lesson. But each time a person suffers he envies every person who is a medium for his suffering, thereby creating new karmas. The one who seeks the guidance of the Goddess gets himself freed from the Karmik cycle.
So as Raktbeej headed towards the Goddess, she began radiating the divine powers of the holy trinity, their incarnations and the angels. As the Goddess slaughtered him, he multiplied manifolds. In order to avoid the blood drops from falling on the ground, the Goddess she started drinking the demon's blood. Eventually he was completely drained and terminated.
Shumbh-Nishumbh were shocked to hear this and wondered how could Raktbeej be defeated. Soon, Nishumbh headed with his army to fight with the Goddess. He too met the same fate as Raktbeej. Lastly, Shumbh came for the war who also challenged her to fight alone. He tried hard to deceive the Goddess but all in vain as she caught hold of him and eliminated him. Soon, the universe became peaceful.
