Nandagopa Grihe Jata (The Devi's Prophecy of Her Future Avatars) PDF

देव्युवाच वैवस्वतेऽन्तरे प्राप्ते अष्टाविंशतिमे युगे । शुम्भो निशुम्भश्चैवान्यावुत्पत्स्येते महासुरौ ॥

devyuvāca vaivasvate'ntare prāpte aṣṭāviṃśatime yuge śumbho niśumbhaścaivānyāvutpatsyete mahāsurau

The Devi said: 'When the twenty-eighth age is reached in the Vaivasvata Manvantara, two other great asuras, Shumbha and Nishumbha, shall be born. Then, born in the house of the cowherd Nanda, sprung from the womb of Yashoda, and dwelling on the Vindhya mountain, I shall destroy those two. And again, descending to the earth in a most terrible form, I shall slay the danavas descended from Viprachitti; and as I devour those fierce great asuras my teeth shall become red, like pomegranate flowers. Thereupon the gods in heaven and human beings on earth, praising me, shall ever call me Raktadantika (the red-toothed). And again, when there is no rain on earth for a hundred years — a waterless drought — remembered by the sages I shall be born on the earth, not from a womb. Then I shall behold the sages with a hundred eyes, and people shall hymn me as Shatakshi (the hundred-eyed). Then, O gods, I shall sustain the whole world with life-supporting vegetables grown from my own body until the rains return; I shall then become renowned on earth as Shakambhari, and there itself I shall slay the great asura named Durgama.'
