Kantam rakshathu Chamunda,
Hrudayam rakshathachiva,
Eesani cha bhujou raksheth,
Kukshim nabhim cha kalika
Let my neck be protected by Chamunda Devi,
Let my heart be protected be her consort Bhairava Shiva,
Let my arms be protected by Isana,
Let my belly and navel be protected by Kalika Mata.
We are all aware of the Great War where the demon King of Mahisha, Mahishasura was slain by the Goddess Chamundi. Chamundi is the fiercest form of the Goddess coming forth to slay one of the worst enemies of mankind and Gods. Mahishasura’s father Rambha was king of the asuras and he once fell in love with Princess Shyamala, who was cursed to be a water buffalo.
Mahishasura was born out of this union. Therefore he was able to change his form between human and buffalo at will. His initial name was Kambasuran who later got the title of Mahishasura.
He ruled the kingdom of Mahisha. After having performed Tapasya, he asked Brahma for a boon which was granted. This rendered him almost immortal for no man could kill him. He would die only in the hands of a woman, one who had equal power as him. With this confidence, he plundered the common people off their wealth and disturbed the Rishis when they did their puja and constantly troubled the Devas. This was done with the help of his sons Sumbhan and Nisumbhan and his brother Durgamanasura. They were so fearsome fighters that they even defeated the Gods and drove them away from the heaven.
The Gods went to the three supreme Gods and requested for safety. They requested them to destroy the demons. Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu assembled forth together and from their anger emerged rays of light. The rays of light were combined onto other flames as well and took shape of a woman. The lady had a fair complexion, locked black hairs and wearing an old dress, all Gods presented her with new red clothes, jewellery, a crown, a lion for her vehicle, weapons, makeup and many others. Shiva gave her a trident, Vishnu gave her a mace, Brahma gave her a bow and arrow, Indra gave her a thunderbolt and so on. The Gods kindly asked her to destroy the evil demons. Lord Vishnu gave her the name of Goddess Chamundi. By hearing this name, she spoke out to the Gods that she will annihilate the evils in many forms.
She caused trouble for the demons by making the three worlds shake, even the heavens and the hell. The demon King was terrified and ordered his enormous army to attack the one who is creating the storming sound. Goddess Chamundi on her lion saw the uncountable army of demons. Maharaja Ugrasen came with 60,000 chariots, Shichsur came with one million horsemen, Vidhan came with one hundred soldiers and Vashkaal came with countless demons. The demons started to attack her. On seeing the huge demon army, the lion attacked them first, Chamundi used her spear to pierce the demon’s chest. Later, Goddess Chamundi created many warriors. The furious war began with the warriors of Chamundi wiping the demons out one by one. By then, all demons of Mahishasur were wiped out.
All Gods, saints, sages, celestial beings, Yakshs, Yakshinis, men, women and children paid gratitude to Goddess Chamundi. After the death of the demon army of Mahishasur, Chixsur was furious and came in forefront to battle the Goddess. He attacked the Goddess with a rain of arrows, Chamundi counter attacked by raining her own arrows on Chixsur. His arrows were broken into pieces and his bow string was snapped. Then, he used a devil’s trident, Chamundi used her angelic trident and broke Chixsur’s demon trident and Chamundi killed him with her trident. Goddess killed all the demons that came her way. Mahishasur was the last demon to enter the battlefield. He failed to battle with Goddess without using his supernatural powers, which he had to use. He kept changing form from lion, warrior, buffalo, elephant, goblin, and wizard. Goddess Chamundi killed his various forms by using scimitar, sword etc.
Later, Mahishasur again obtained the form of a buffalo and attacked Chamundi with trees, rocks, boulders and mountains. But Chamundi destroyed them all. At last, the Goddess drank water from her cup and announced: O you fool, hypocrite, crook, felon, clown, vile person, evil, stupid, foolish, sinner, tyrant, wicked person and atrocious creature! I hereby shall drink the water and when I will therefore kill you, Gods will scream out in happiness and nobody will be able to protect you now because your entire demon armies, relatives and friends are no more. You will fight me ALONE!!! After saying this, Chamundi transformed into Durga and fought Mahishasur with different weapons and she finally killed Mahishasur with her trident.
