Durga Saptashati — Chapter 1, Verse 78

Madhu-Kaitabha Vadha

महामोहा च भवती महादेवी महासुरी । प्रकृतिस्त्वं च सर्वस्य गुणत्रयविभाविनी ॥ ७८ ॥

mahāmohā cha bhavatī mahādevī mahāsurī prakṛitistvaṁ cha sarvasya guṇatrayavibhāvinī

Translation

you are the great delusion, the great Goddess, the great Asuri. You are prakriti, the nature of all things, who brings forth the three gunas.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

तुम्हीं महामोहा, महादेवी और महासुरी हो। तुम्हीं सबकी प्रकृति हो, जो तीनों गुणों को प्रकट करती है।

Commentary

Mahasuri ("great Asuri") may surprise readers: even the demonic power is hers. Gita Press notes the variant maheshvari. As prakriti, she is the nature out of which the gunas of Gita chapter 14 arise.
