WHAT IS DURGA SAPTASHATI?

Durga Saptashati is a unique Hindu religious text describing the victory of Maa Durga over the demons as the supreme power and creator of the Universe. 

Durga Saptashati is part of Markandeya Purana. It is called Durga Saptashati due to its 700 verses (Sapta meaning Seven). In this, a symbolic interpretation of the creation of the universe has been given while dividing the powers of the world in two forms accumulated and functional. 

Durga Saptashati is usually recited during Navratri. Durga Saptashati defines the nature of the Divine Mother. Divine Mother (Devi Maa) is the unlimited Shakti (energy) behind all limited energies. Some devotees call her Maa Durga, some call her Maa Chandi, and some call her Maha Lakshmi. She is the root of all that manifests. Divine Mother is the force that drives everything in the Universe.

THE 700 SHALOKAS OF DURGA SAPTASHATI

According to legend, the Maa Durga waged war against the terrible demons, which had destroyed the peace of the Universe. At that time, when the gods prayed for an intervention from a higher power, Maa Durga manifested and fought for the welfare of the Universe.

Maa Durga fought the battle and created tales of adventure and awe that enthralled her devotees and invoked deep faith in her. 

These stories came to be known as Durga Saptashati in the north, Devi Mahatmya in the South of India and Chandi in West Bengal

The text is called Saptashati (literally means “a collection of something in seven hundred numbers”), as it contains 700 verses (shlokas). The Durga Saptashati is a part of Markandeya Purana and constitutes Markandeya Purana’s chapters 81 through 93.

Consisting of 13 chapters, Durga Saptashati tells the stories of the heroism of the Goddess through 700 verses. It is a collection of stories of the battle between good and evil, in which the Devi manifests as Maa Durga and leads the forces of good against the demons. In peaceful times, the Devi manifests as Maa Lakshmi, empowering creation and happiness. Durga Saptashati describes reverence and worship of the feminine aspect of God in Hindu traditions. The Durga Saptashati, in some Hindu traditions, is considered as important as the Bhagavad Gita.

The Maa Durga defeated and killed the demons, such as Madhu, Kaitabha, Mahishasura, Dhumralochana, Chanda, Munda, Raktabija, Nishumbha, and Shumbha, through various incarnations. She kills some demons through the tamasic (punisher) incarnation of Goddess Kali, some through the rajasic (majestic) incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, and some through the sattvik (righteous) incarnation of Goddess Saraswati.

THE FORMATION & COMPOSITION OF DURGA SAPTASHATI

Sages composed stotras, methods, and kavach (armor) related to Maa Durga. They wanted that there should be such a composition in which all the three powers: Mahasaraswati, Mahalakshmi, and Mahakali are included together with the divine power. That is why they first composed ‘Ratri sukta’ and ‘Devi sukta.’ They composed seven hundred verses through which the characters of the Goddess were described. Those shlokas were related to Maa Durga. That is why it was named Durga Saptashati.

The seven hundred verses of Durga Shaptashati are divided into 13 chapters. These thirteen chapters of Durga Saptashati are divided into three charitras or episodes (Pratham charitr, madhyam charitr, and uttam charitr).

Mahakali is described in the first episode, Mahalakshmi in the middle episode, and Mahasaraswati in the final episode. 

The first episode is the story of Madhu Kaitabh’s slaughter. In the middle episode, there is the story of the killing of Mahishasura along with his army. In the final episode, there is the story of Shumbhat Nitshumbhai slaughter and the boon of the Goddess given to king Suratha and Vaishya (Merchant).

The first episode has only the first Chapter; the middle episode has the second, third, and fourth chapters, and the final episode has the remaining chapters. In the first episode, the syllable form ‘क्लीं’ (kleen) represents Maa Kali, in the middle episode, Maa Lakshmi’s syllable form is ‘ह्रीं’ ( ‘Hreem’), and in the final episode, Maa Saraswati’s syllable form is ‘ऐं’ (‘Ai’). 

In this way – ‘ऐं ह्रीँ क्लीं चामुण्डायै विच्चे’ (‘Aim Hreem Klein Chamundayai Viche’) – this mantra is Navarna (navaksharee) Mantra. In this, there are a total of nine letters, which represent the nine Durgas. The meaning is that the nine Durgas are the collective power, that is, the power of the Navarna mantra.

THE STORY ASSOCIATED WITH SHRI DURGA SAPTASHATI

When the kingdom of a king named Suratha is snatched away, and life is in danger, that king runs away and goes to the forest. The wise king has the right knowledge of his situation. He certainly understands that he is not going to get back his kingdom or any property again. But still, he keeps on worrying about the same things, persons and treasures, etc., again and again. 

Unlike what the king considers useless and wants to be free, his mind is drawn towards those things, ignoring his knowledge. The wise king Suratha goes to the supreme wise Megha Rishi with his extraordinary doubts. The Sage tells him that Mahamaya (Maa Durga) is the special power that unites the whole world, governs, organizes, and controls the whole creation. All living beings work under her inspiration.

The Three Stages Of Creation

This Mahamaya Shakti (Divine Mother/Maa Durga) governs the three stages of creation in three forms. Creation is a constant change of states. Time is the measure of change. Change cannot be imagined without time. Therefore, in the first stage, this Mahamaya in the form of Mahakali Shakti gives speed to the creation. 

She maintains and nurtures her in the form of Mahalakshmi. The third stage of creation is the advanced stage of development when there is a multidimensional development of consciousness. She conducts and controls this state in the form of Mahasaraswati. These three stages of creation have been presented in an understandable form of Durga Saptashati to the common man. 

These three stages are governed by the Tridevi, Mahakali (Chapter 1), Mahalakshmi (Chapters 2-4), and Mahasaraswati (Chapters 5-13). In the first stage, two demons named Madhu and Kaitabh wanted to kill Lord Brahma, the creator of the Universe. Tamoguni and Rajoguni, respectively, these two extreme forces are a threat to development. 

Brahma Ji pleaded for protection to Mahamaya. Inspired by Mahamaya, Lord Vishnu renounced sleep and killed the demons. The work of creation of Brahma Ji goes ahead. The second stage is a symbolic description of the early stage of civilization – the then wild stage of the Gangetic Indus plain.

The human group, relatively weak in physical force from animals – Adishakti had to choose to take the vehicle of her civilization from among the terrible wild animals like wild buffalo (Mahishasura), etc., without developed weapons, only on the strength of her intelligence, in which she succeeded. The third stage is the advanced stage of civilization, where the Adishakti has to face the two extreme forces Rajoguna and Tamoguna, or progressive and reactionary forces in the form of Shumbh and Nishumbha.

THREE CHARITRAS OR EPISODES OF DURGA SAPTASHATI IN BRIEF

Durga Saptashati is a Hindu religious text describing the victory of the Goddess Durga over the demon and contains 700 verses, arranged into 13 chapters. The thirteen chapters of Durga Saptashati are divided into three charitas or episodes (Pratham charitr, madhyam charitr aur uttam charitr). The first episode, the first Chapter, describes the glory of Maha Kali, the second, third, and fourth chapters glorify Maha Lakshmi. The last nine chapters from the fifth to the thirteenth glorify Maa Saraswati.

PRATHAM CHARITR(FIRST EPISODE) OF DURGA SAPTASHATI

The first episode begins with the Meditation of Mahakali. It contains only one Chapter. The first Chapter of the Durga Saptashati describes the glory of Maha Kali. Here Devi, the central and key to the creation or, induces Lord Vishnu into a deep (mystic) sleep on the waters of the cosmic ocean prior to the manifestation of the Universe. Two demons, Madhu-Kaitabh, arose as thought forms from the sleeping body of Lord Vishnu and tried to slay Brahma Ji, who is preparing to create the next cycle of the Universe. 

Brahma Ji invoked to the Great Goddess, asking her to withdraw from Lord Vishnu so he may awaken and slay the demons. Devi agrees to withdraw, and Lord Vishnu awakens and slays the demons. Here Devi Maa is praised as the agent who allows both the cosmic order to be upset & restored.

MADHYAM CHARITR (MIDDLE EPISODE) OF DURGA SAPTASHATI

The middle episode (chapters 2-4) stages Goddess Mahalakshmi in her incarnation as Maa Durga. Maa Durga, a great Warrior Goddess, symbolizes divine anger and the lethal energy against evil. The episode presents a world that is under attack by the shape-shifting demon ‘Mahishasura”, who uses deception to disarm his opponents by taking the form of a buffalo.

Mahishasura defeats the male gods individually, who fear the destruction of the forces of good. Then all the Gods combine their individual energies to form a singular mass of Shakti from which Mahalakshmi is born as the endowed Maa Durga. Riding a lion into battle, Maa Durga captures and slays the buffalo demon by cutting off his head. Maa Durga then destroys the demon, thereby establishing order in the world.

In the spiritual practices of the goddess tradition of Hinduism, the middle episode is the most significant. If one cannot recite the entire Devi Mahatmyam composition, the middle episode alone is recited at a Puja or festival.

UTTAM CHARITR (FINAL EPISODE) OF DURGA SAPTASHATI

The final episode (chapters 5-13) depicts Maa Durga in her form of Mahasaraswati. She is portrayed as arising from Devi Parvati. Devi Kali is considered to represent the darker chthonic, transformative qualities of Devi’s power or Shakti. Maha Kali’s emergence is chronicled in the 7th Chapter. In the form of Maa Chamunda, Maha Kali emerges from Maa Durga as a burst of psychic energy. Maha Kali overpowers and beheads Chanda and Munda, and when she delivers their severed heads to Devi, she is called Chamunda.

Durga Idol

During a fierce battle in which Maa Durga demonstrates her omnipotence by defeating powerful demons who terrify the devas, she encounters the fierce Raktabeej (chapter 8). Every drop of blood Raktabeej sheds transforms into another demon as soon as it touches the earth. A unique plan has to be devised to defeat him. While Devi Kaushiki attacks him with various weapons, Maha Kali, with her huge mouth and enormous tongue, drank up Raktabeej blood, thus preventing the uprising of further demons.

The story continues in which Devi, Maha Kali destroys the demonic brothers Sumbha (chapter 10) and Nisumbha (chapter 9). In the final battle against Shumbha, Maa Durga absorbs Kali and stands alone for the final battle. Praise of the Goddess by the Gods and Boons to the Gods by the Goddess is narrated in Chapter 11. Chapter 12 narrates the Glory and Fruits of the recitation of Goddess doings, and Chapter 13 narrates the bestowing of boons to Suratha and Vaisya.
