DEVI CHANDIKA
Mahishasuravadham: Adapted from Devi Bhagavatham and Devi Mahatmyam
Thus spoke Vishnu -
“We have fought before; but this Asura could not be killed by any of us. If a female deity be now created out of our collective energy, She and only She would be able to destroy Mahishasura by sheer force.”
While the Devas were thus looking steadfastly on that Fire, an exquisitely beautiful Goddess was born out of it. Her face was white, eyes were black, her lips were red and the palms of her hands were coppered. She was adorned with divine ornaments. The Goddess was now manifest with eighteen hands armed with weapons and riding a lion. As she looked upon Mahishasura, her face shone with varied emotions - desire, astonishment, valour and anger.
Madly in love, Mahishasura put on beautiful ornaments and thus shone like the god of Love. “O beautiful one, if you like, marry me, or return to your desired place whence you have come.” Devi replied, “Mahisha, you are a sinner; you torment the gods and terrify the sages. I will slay you undoubtedly.”
Devi took up the golden cup filled with wine and drank again and again. She pursued him with trident in Her hands, to the great joy of all the Devas. The Devi Chandika, then, infuriated and with eyes reddened, pierced violently the breast of that vicious Mahisha with Her sharp trident. The hot streams of blood gushed out from his neck as the violent streams of water get out from mountains, coloured red with red sandstones. The gods and saints were all extremely glad at the death of Mahishasura. Bhagavati Chandika quit the battlefield. The gods came to adore and praise Her, the bestower of their peace.
