Devi Mahatmyam, also known as Durga Saptashati or Chandi, is part of the Markandeya Purana. It celebrates the Divine Mother's power, compassion and protection.
Its thirteen chapters recount the Goddess's battles, the praises offered by the gods and the refuge she offers her devotees. The text is traditionally arranged in three sections: Prathama, Madhyama and Uttama Charitra.
