Whereas, as per “Devi Mahatmya” when the Goddess Durga was fighting against the demon “Rakta Beej”. The demon “Rakta Beej” had been granted a boon, he can’t die, when any drop of blood fall on the ground he will regenerate again from the drop of blood. That’s why his name was “Rakta+Beeja”.
The goddess “Katayayani” she is the sixth incarnation of “Navdurga” fighting with Rakta Beeja and unable kill him due to his power of the boon. Then she generates Goddess Kali from her third eye to help her in the war, when Goddess Kali, she would cut his head with the sword, then she would drink before the blood that came out of it fell into the ground.
Moreover, sometimes by mistake any drop of blood would fall down, Lord Bhairav was along with the mother Kali was also behind her in the form of a black dog and would immediately lick the blood drop as soon as it fell.
