Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Shakta tradition; the Shakambhari manifestation described in the Devi Mahatmya (Markandeya Purana) and Devi Bhagavata Purana
Author: Traditional
Period: Classical / Puranic
The Devi Mahatmya foretells that the Goddess will incarnate as Shakambhari: 'Then I shall nourish the whole world with the life-sustaining vegetables born from my own body, until the rains come; I shall be famed on earth as Shakambhari.' When a hundred-year drought struck and beings perished of hunger, the Mother, moved to tears (becoming Shatakshi), appeared and produced fruits, roots and herbs to feed all, and slew the tormenting demon Durgama. This stotram celebrates that compassionate, nourishing form of Durga.
