Indra's ascendancy over the three worlds and his portions of the sacrifices were taken away by the asuras, Sumbha and Nisumbha, by force of their pride and strength.
Deprived of their functions and expelled by these two great asuras, all the devas thought of the great and invincible Devi.
She had granted them a boon, "Whenever in calamities, you think of me, that very moment I will put an end to all your worst calamities."
Resolving thus, the devas went to Himavat, lord of the mountains, and there extolled the Devi, who is the illusive power of Vishnu.
The Devas praised the Devi
Salutation to the Devi, to the Mahadevi. Salutation always to her who is ever auspicious. Salutation to her who is the primordial cause and the sustaining power. With attention, we have made obeisance to her.
Salutation to her who is terrible, to her who is eternal. Salutation to Gauri, the supporter(of the Universe). salutation always to her who's is of the form of the moon and moon-light and happiness itself.
We bow to her who is welfare; we make salutations to her who is prosperity and success. Salutation to the consort of Shiva who is herself the good fortune as well as misfortune of kings.
Salutations always to Durga who takes one across in difficulties, who is the essence, who is the authority of everything; who is knowledge of discrimination and who is blue-black as also smoke-like in complexion.
We prostrate before her who is at once most gentle and most terrible; we salute her again and again. Salutation to her who is the support of the world. Salutation to the Devi who is the form of volition.
