The Ashta Matrika are incarnations of Goddess Shakti hence manifested from the male gods to fight demons. Hence they are warrior deities with auspicious qualities. They were created to kill Adhaka whose every drop of blood gave birth to a new demon. The eight forms of Mother Shakti or warrior goddesses were created by Lord Shiva to fight demons. They guard the eight cardinal directions of the universe, they protect and defend evil from all sides with great valor and ferocity. They also represent man’s inner evil or negative qualities that need to be rooted out for attaining enlightenment and moksha. The Ashta Matrika portray an interesting symbolism. Lord Shiva represents vidya or knowledge. The demon Andakasura represents avidya or ignorance. The more vidya becomes powerful avidya also arises and multiplies. This is denoted by the massive increase in the demons and other asuras. The eight evil qualities like lobha (greed), moha (illusion), madha (pride), krodha (anger), paisunya (wicked), matsarya (miserly), kama (lust), and asuya (jealousy) need to be overcome and brought under the control of vidya. Only then Andaka can be defeated and kept under restraint. According to Varaha Purana, the matrikas are atma vidyas battling against Andhakasura, who represents evil or darkness.
