In Skandapuran, in the chapter on Sahyadri, there is a story about the incarnation of Shri Tuljabhavani. In the Krutyug Rishi Kardam's wife, Tapasvi Anubhuti was in a meditative state. A demon called Kukur tried to molest Anubhuti at that time. Tapasvi Anubhuti prayed to Devi Bhagvati for protection. Devi Bhagvati appeared in person, fought with the demon Kukur and slayed him. Tapasvi Anubhuti pleaded to Devi Bhagwati to reside on the mountain in that area, to which Devi agreed. She is the Devi who rushes to help when a devotee earnestly calls out to her and fulfills their desires. So she is known as Tvarita-Turja-Tulja.

Bhavānī Bhāratī we are led to witness a familiar scene. The poem opens with the Indian, slumbering, and content, while Titanic forces gouge the earth under his feet. He is no better than his brothers, all oblivious to the plunder of the Motherland. Embracing his world full of pleasures he is unable to hear her cry for help. At such a moment, incapable of holding back any longer. Kālī makes Herself visible, fierce, and dreadful form, leaving the earth trembling with Her thundering call.
