The Chandi Path, also known as the Devi Mahatmyam or Durga Saptashati, is a sacred Hindu text comprising 700 verses, divided into 13 chapters. It is part of the Markandeya Puran and is dedicated to the Goddess Durga.  Chapter 10 of the Chandi Path details the climactic battle between the Goddess Durga and the demon king Shumbh. After his brother Nishumbh and other formidable demons are slain, Shumbh confronts Durga, accusing her of relying on external aid. In response, Durga reveals that the goddesses who assisted her are merely manifestations of her own power, and she reabsorbs them, standing alone. A fierce battle ensues, with Shumbh and Durga exchanging powerful blows and weapons. Despite Shumbh’s relentless attacks and use of various weapons, Durga counters each move, ultimately disarming and wounding him repeatedly. In his final attempt, Shumbh leaps into the sky to grapple with Durga, but she drags him down and delivers a fatal strike with her trident. With Shumbh’s death, the remaining demons flee, and Durga reassures the gods of their victory, offering them a boon. This chapter underscores the theme of divine supremacy and the ultimate triumph of good over evil, highlighting Durga’s singular and omnipotent power.
