Brahmaji that as soon as drop of blood would fall on the ground another look alike Rakhtbeej would get created.

मां कालरात्रि की स्तुति-

या देवी सर्वभू‍तेषु मां कालरात्रि रूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

मां कालरात्रि की प्रार्थना-

एकवेणी जपाकर्णपूरा नग्ना खरास्थिता।
लम्बोष्ठी कर्णिकाकर्णी तैलाभ्यक्त शरीरिणी॥
