Description | The late 18th century manuscript of the Durga Saptashati depicts various forms of the Divine Mother and her manifestations. It is so named because of its 700 shlokas that are taken from Markandeya Purana. In colloquial parlance, it is also known as 'Chandipaath'. The couplets depict three major events - the killing of Madhu-Kaitabh demons, the slaying of Mahishasura and the destruction of the army of demons including Raktabeej, Chand-Mund, Shumbh and Nishumbh. It also weaves in a number of other tales describing various worlds and how gods worshipped the Divine Mother. |
