Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Devi Mahatmya (Durga Saptashati), Chapter 11 — Markandeya Purana
Author: Maharshi Markandeya (traditionally ascribed)
Period: Puranic period (c. 5th–6th century CE for the Devi Mahatmya)
The Devi Mahatmya, also called the Durga Saptashati or Chandi, forms part of the Markandeya Purana and recounts the Divine Mother's victories over the demons Madhu-Kaitabha, Mahishasura, and Shumbha-Nishumbha. After the Goddess slays Shumbha and Nishumbha and the universe is freed from terror, the gods led by Indra gather to glorify her. In this eleventh chapter they offer the Narayani Stuti, praising her as the supreme Shakti who is the auspiciousness of all auspicious things, the power behind creation, preservation and dissolution, the form and the ruler of all, and the unfailing refuge of those who are meek and afflicted. Moved by their devotion, the Goddess promises to incarnate again and again whenever danger threatens the world, assuring her devotees of her eternal protection.
