Origin & History
Source: Mahabharata, Virata Parva (Pandava-Pravesha Parva)
Author: Veda Vyasa (the hymn spoken by Yudhishthira)
Period: 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.
