In the 5th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam it describes how once some rogues kidnapped the pure devotee and avadhuta Jada Bharata for the purpose of sacrificing him to the goddess Kali. However because Jada Bharata was a pure devotee of the Supreme Lord Krsna, Kali would not tolerate that such a devotee of the Lord should be killed. Instead she and her yakshini associates took choppers and killed those who harm the devotee of Lord Krsna Who is also the Supreme worshippable object of Srimati Kali devi and her consort Lord Siva.
