Devi Shakambhari

Devi: Devi Shakambhari:

(Devi Mahatmyam - 11)

Meditation: I meditate on Devi Shakambari who provided life-sustaining vegetables and saved the earth from a great drought.

Devi DeviDevi providing life-sustaining vegetables during drought: When there will be no rains for hundred years, then propitiated by the munis, I shall incarnate on the earth without being born from a womb. I shall see the munis with hundred eyes, and therefore, I shall be known as Shatakshi.

During that time, I shall sustain the whole world with life-sustaining vegetables produced from my own body, and therefore, I shall be known as Shakambhari.

During that same time, I shall slay the great asura named Durgama, and therefore, I shall be known as Durga.
