There is nothing called Ugra or Soumya Murtis. Maa Kali is perceived by the Tamil Nadu Brahmins as Ugra Murti where as in Bengal she is loved as Mother Goddess. Gods/Goddessses do not have Gunas. We are trying to classify gods as per our rules. Devi is called Trigunathmikayai. God/Goddesses are above Gunas. I agree that guna is only in the eyes of the sadhaka... but then, that is the character which the deity possesses... There are different manifestations of a same avatar... Lakshmi Narasimha, Yoga Narasimha and similarly Ugra Narasimha... so the sadhaka meditates on the form of the devata associated with a particular guna... and hence this statement applies as we see the roopam...

Aside:

Your posts give me the feel that you may be a Devi upasaka... (pardon the indulgence
