अर्थ

युधिष्ठिरकृत दुर्गा स्तोत्रम् वह स्तुति है जो पाण्डवों में ज्येष्ठ युधिष्ठिर ने महाभारत के विराटपर्व के आरम्भ में देवी दुर्गा से कही। जब पाण्डव विराट नगर में अपने अज्ञातवास के वर्ष में प्रवेश कर रहे थे, तब युधिष्ठिर ने रक्षा हेतु देवी का आवाहन किया, ताकि वे अपरिचित रहकर वह वर्ष व्यतीत कर सकें। वे देवी की स्तुति नन्द के घर में जन्मी कन्या, कृष्ण की भगिनी, असुरों की संहारक और भक्तों की अमोघ शरण के रूप में करते हैं। प्रसन्न होकर देवी प्रकट हुईं और पाण्डवों को रक्षा एवं विजय का वर प्रदान किया।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Mahabharata, Virata Parva (Pandava-Pravesha Parva) · Veda Vyasa (the hymn spoken by Yudhishthira) · Itihasa (Epic) period

Having completed twelve years of forest exile, the Pandavas were bound to spend a thirteenth year in concealment, during which their discovery would have cost them another twelve years of banishment. As they approached the city of King Virata to live there in disguise, Yudhishthira, the eldest and most righteous of the brothers, turned his mind to the Divine Mother and invoked the Goddess Durga for protection. He glorified her as the daughter born in the house of Nanda the cowherd, the sister of Krishna, the one who terrified Kamsa and slays the Asuras, the auspicious bearer of sword and shield, and the unfailing refuge who lifts her devotees from the mire of sin. Pleased with his devotion, the Goddess appeared before him, granted the Pandavas her protection through the difficult year, and assured them of final victory and the recovery of their kingdom.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

The Mahabharata relates that the Goddess, appearing before Yudhishthira, promised that by her grace the Pandavas would remain unrecognised in Virata's city and would soon regain their kingdom by vanquishing the Kauravas. Tradition holds that those who recite this hymn with faith receive the same protection — safe passage through danger and the Mother's shelter in their hour of need.

As Yudhishthira did when entering Virata's city, recite the hymn with folded hands and a heart seeking the Mother's shelter and protection. It is especially suited to recitation before entering upon any difficult, hidden or dangerous task, or when one feels in need of refuge. Meditate on the Goddess bearing sword and shield, the sister of Krishna and the slayer of demons, and surrender to her as the giver of protection and victory.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

It is the hymn to Goddess Durga recited by Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava, at the start of the Virata Parva of the Mahabharata, as the Pandavas began their year of concealment (agyatavasa) in the kingdom of Virata. He invoked the Goddess for protection, and she appeared and blessed them.
The Pandavas had to spend a thirteenth year incognito, and discovery would have meant another long exile. Before entering the city of Virata, Yudhishthira prayed to the Goddess Durga — the protector of the righteous — to shield them and let them pass the year unrecognised. Pleased, the Goddess granted them safety and assured victory.
The hymn identifies Durga with Yoganidra, the divine Maya, who took birth as the daughter of Yashoda and Nanda and was exchanged for the infant Krishna. When Kamsa tried to dash her against a rock, she rose into the sky in her divine form. Hence she is praised as Krishna's sister, born in Nanda's family, and the one who terrified Kamsa.
It is found at the beginning of the Virata Parva (the Book of Virata) of the Mahabharata, in the section describing the Pandavas' entry into the kingdom of Virata for their year of concealment. It is sometimes called the Durga Nakshatra Malika Stuti.
