अर्थ

यह दुर्गा सप्तशती के दशम अध्याय की सर्वाधिक गूढ़ घोषणाओं में से एक है। जब शुम्भ देवी को दूसरों की सहायता से युद्ध करने का ताना देता है, तब वे अद्वैत के परम सत्य की घोषणा करती हैं: 'मैं अकेली ही हूँ; मेरे सिवा दूसरा कौन है?' — और उसके देखते-देखते अनेक मातृका देवियाँ (ब्राह्मणी आदि) उनके एक ही रूप में लीन हो जाती हैं। देवी प्रकट करती हैं कि समस्त शक्तियाँ और देवता उनकी ही विभूतियाँ मात्र हैं, और वे अकेली, एकमेव सत्ता के रूप में खड़ी हैं।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Durga Saptashati Chapter 10 · Sage Markandeya (Markandeya Purana) · c. 400–600 CE (Markandeya Purana)

After Nishumbha was slain, his brother Shumbha, grieving and enraged, accused the Goddess of fighting only with the help of the Matrika powers. The Goddess declared that she alone exists and that the Matrikas are her own manifestations; she then absorbed Brahmani and all the other goddesses back into herself, standing alone before Shumbha for their final, decisive duel.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

This verse is cherished by seekers of wisdom as a revelation that the Divine Mother is the single Reality behind all appearances; contemplatives say that meditating on the goddesses merging into the One dissolves fear and the illusion of separateness, granting an inner steadiness echoing the Devi's command 'sthiro bhava' — be firm.

अर्थ:देवी बोलीं — 'इस जगत् में मैं अकेली ही हूँ; मेरे अतिरिक्त दूसरी कौन है? अरे दुष्ट! देख, ये मेरी विभूतियाँ मुझ में ही प्रवेश कर रही हैं!' तब ब्राह्मणी आदि वे समस्त देवियाँ उस देवी के शरीर में लीन हो गईं; तब अकेली अम्बिका ही शेष रहीं। देवी बोलीं — 'अपनी विभूति से जिन अनेक रूपों में मैं यहाँ स्थित थी, उन्हें मैंने समेट लिया है, और अब अकेली ही खड़ी हूँ। तू (युद्ध में) स्थिर हो जा!'

एकैवाहं जगत्यत्र (देवी की अद्वैत घोषणा) जप विधि

जप संख्या11बार
उत्तम समयDuring Navaratri, at dawn, or during contemplative Devi meditation

Begin with the Saptashati seed mantra 'Om Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vichche'. Chant these verses slowly and meditatively, contemplating the absorption of the many goddesses into the One. This is as much a verse for jnana (wisdom) as for worship — reflect on the truth that all powers are the Devi's own vibhutis. Recited as part of the tenth chapter path of the Durga Saptashati, which narrates the slaying of Shumbha.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

It is a declaration of absolute non-duality (advaita). The Goddess affirms that she is the one and only Reality; all the gods, Matrikas and powers are merely her vibhutis — her own self-manifestations. To prove it, she draws the many goddesses back into her single form.
Shumbha taunts the Goddess, saying she fights only because she relies on the strength of others (the Matrikas). In reply, she withdraws all those forms into herself and stands alone, showing that the 'others' were never separate from her at all.
These are verses 3 to 5 of the tenth chapter (Shumbha-Vadha) of the Durga Saptashati, part of the Uttama Charita presided over by the Goddess Mahasaraswati.
