In the shloka 51 of Soundaryalahari, Shankaracharya in his great poetic excellence describes eight different aspects of the Great Goddess.

शिव शृङ्गारार्द्रा तदितरजने कुत्सनपरा
सरोषा गङ्गायां गिरिशचरिते विस्मयवती ।
हराहिभ्यो भीता सरसिरुहसौभाग्यजयिनी
सखीषु स्मेरा ते मयि जननि दृष्टिः सकरुणा ॥ ५१ ॥

śiva śṛṅgārārdrā taditarajane kutsanaparā
saroṣā gaṅgāyāṁ giriśacarite vismayavatī |
harāhibhyo bhītā sarasiruhasaubhāgyajayinī
sakhīṣu smerā te mayi janani dṛṣṭiḥ sakaruṇā || 51 ||

“On seeing Shiva You express tender love;
Your glance at all except Shiva is of seriousness;
Your glance at Ganga is full of anger;
You expresses amazement when listening to the adventures of Shiva;
You express fear on seeing the snakes adorning Shiva
When You are furious, Your face turn red like a lotus flower in a pond;
When You look at your friends, You smile;
When You look at devotees, Your glance is full of Grace."
