Devi Mahatmya (Durga Saptashati / Chandi), part of the Markandeya Purana · Sage Markandeya (the verses are spoken within a Shiva–Devi dialogue) · Ancient (Devi Mahatmya c. 5th–6th century CE; verses earlier)
The Saptashloki is framed by a conversation between Lord Shiva and the Divine Mother. Shiva asks her to reveal the simplest and most certain means by which beings of the Kali age can attain their goals. In response, the Goddess discloses seven verses drawn from the Devi Mahatmya as the supreme distillation of her glory — a 'short Saptashati' that carries the protective force of the entire scripture for those unable to recite the whole.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
Devotees across centuries have held that even when calamity strikes and there is no time for elaborate worship, a single heartfelt recitation of these seven verses brings the Mother's immediate protection. Many narrate being delivered from illness, lawsuits and danger by reciting the Saptashloki when the full Saptashati could not be completed.
