Praised by the devas who were suffering because of their defeat at the hands

of the arrogant Shumbha and Nishumbha, a gentle form emerged out of Parvati

at the slopes of Himalayas. Sportingly She attracted all the three worlds

and was seen by Chanda and Munda. Let that Goddess Durga become a fort for

me to stop the terrible army of kr^tAnta, the god of death.
