अर्थ

दुर्गा द्वादशनाम स्तोत्रम् देवी दुर्गा के बारह पवित्र नामों की एक संक्षिप्त किन्तु प्रभावशाली नामावली है, जिसका प्रत्येक नाम 'दुर्गा' से आरम्भ होकर यह बताता है कि वे किस प्रकार हर कठिनाई, संकट और दैत्य का नाश करती हैं। यह इस आश्वासन के साथ समाप्त होता है कि जो भी इस नाममाला का पाठ करेगा वह निःसंदेह समस्त भयों से मुक्त हो जाएगा। दुर्गा सप्तशती की परम्परा से सम्बद्ध यह स्तोत्र भय एवं संकट के समय तथा नवरात्रि में नित्य पाठ हेतु सरलता से कण्ठस्थ हो जाने वाला रक्षाकवच माना जाता है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Traditional Devi stotra (recited within the Durga Saptashati / Devi Mahatmyam tradition) · Traditional (Puranic) · Ancient / Classical

The Durga Dwadasanama — the 'twelve names of Durga' — is a beloved protective hymn of the Shakta tradition, recited alongside the Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahatmyam). Its names recall the Mother as the conqueror of every 'durga' — every fort, every difficulty, every danger that is hard to cross — and as the slayer of demons and the giver of liberating wisdom. Devotees in every age of hardship have turned to this brief litany, trusting its own vow that its recitation frees one from all fear.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

It is traditionally told that those overwhelmed by calamity — imprisonment, disease, debt, the threat of enemies or the terror of death — who recite these twelve names of Durga with faith find their dangers dissolved, for the stotra itself promises that the reciter 'shall be freed from all fears, without doubt'.

After a bath, sit before an image of Maa Durga with red flowers, kumkum and a ghee lamp. Recite the twelve names slowly with faith, ideally daily or 12 / 108 times during Navaratri.

Its closing verse declares that whoever recites this garland of Durga's names 'shall be freed from all fears — of this there is no doubt' (sarva-bhayan mukto bhavishyati na samshayah). For this reason it is recited especially in times of danger and distress.
