Origin & History
Source: Devi Mahatmya (Durga Saptashati) tradition — the Durga Nava Nama, with the Durga Gayatri and verses from the Narayani Stuti and Aparajita (Tantrokta Devi) Suktam
Author: Traditional (Markandeya Purana tradition)
The nine names 'Jayanti Mangala Kali...' are among the most beloved invocations of the Goddess in the Shakta tradition, encapsulating her victorious, auspicious, fierce and nurturing aspects in a single verse. Devotees combine these names with the Durga Gayatri and the great refrains of the Devi Mahatmya to form a complete, compact daily prayer — a practice handed down for invoking the Mother's protection in times of need.
