Every time the gods attacked Raktabija, each drop of his blood created a thousand new Raktabijas. At last desperate to defeat him, the gods asked Durga to save them Raktabija — but to fight the monster she had to transform herself, and so she became Kali of the Terrible Countenance. http://ift.tt/1BIIR37

Destroying Raktabija

Through the practice of austerities, Raktabija was granted a boon. This boon, granted by Brahma, allowed Raktabija’s power to increase by a thousand every time a drop of his blood was spilled.
