I am looking for references to Kali's "lolling" tongue. The Devi Mahatmya
and the Mahabhagavata Purana (thanks to Patricia Dold for references) use
forms of /lal + jihva (lalana/lalaj-jihva). MW cites the Kathasaritsagara
as a source of lalaj-jihva. Does anyone has this citation? Does this
descriptive term ("lolling" tongue) occur in reference to other
figures/goddesses?
Thanks for your help.
