Origin & History

Source: Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahatmya), Markandeya Purana — Narayani Stuti, Chapter 11

Author: Sage Markandeya (traditional)

Period: Ancient (c. 4th–6th century CE in present form)

After the Goddess destroys Shumbha, Nishumbha and Mahishasura, the devas gather to praise her in the Narayani Stuti. This verse is its crown — saluting her as the auspiciousness within all auspicious things and as Narayani, the eternal Shakti behind the cosmic cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution. Over centuries it became the universal closing prayer of all Devi worship.
