Can be found below. You need to download Sanskrit fonts(available from same page) if you want to see it in sanskrit. Else, roman script can be referred to. http://www.ambaa.org/stotrams/durga32.htm Rgds > > Thank you, > Henriette Priya" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Durgas can be found in Devi Saptashati, in the Devi Kavacha portion. There is something called "Navadurga Upanishat" and it is said to be from a scripture called "Atharvana Rahasya", which I saw in a book called "Durgopasana Kalpadruma Adhyaya". After reading the text I feel that it should have been Vanadurga Upanishat instead of Navadurga Upanishat, and I think the title Navadurga Upanishat might be a typo. Not sure where 32 names are from. A stotra which is similar to 32 names but has 1000 names(Dakara Durga Shasranama) is said to be from Kularnava. So I am guessing 32 name stotra might be from Kularnava too. But that is a wild guess. I am interested to hear more on these if anybody has info. Rgds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Namaste, Swami Satyananda Sarasvati's translation of the "Chandi Path" (aka Durga or Devi Saptashati) has at its end the "durgA dvAtriMshannAma mAlA" or "The Rosary of Thirty-two Names of Durga." Swami's translation is the most complete I have come across. It includes all the necessary angas (limbs or additions) in the beginning and end as well as the Devi Kavacha that you mention. Visit shreemaa.org and look in the books section. AUM , "Satish Arigela" <satisharigela> wrote: > > , "N.
