From the Devi Gita

I am the Lord and the Cosmic Soul; I am myself the Cosmic Body.
I am Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra, as well as Gauri, Brahmi, and Vaishnavi

I am the sun and the stars, and I am the Lord of the stars.
I am the various species of beasts and birds; I am also the outcaste and thief.

I am the evildoer and the wicked deed; I am the righteous person and the virtuous deed
I am certainly female and male, and asexual as well.

And whatever thing, anywhere, you see or hear,
That entire thing I pervade, ever aiding inside it and outside.

— Devi Gita, verses 3.13 – 3.16, C. Mackenzie Brown, translator (Amazon Link)
