Durga Saptashati — Chapter 2, Verse 13

Mahishasura Sainya Vadha

अतुलं तत्र तत्तेजः सर्वदेवशरीरजम् । एकस्थं तदभून्नारी व्याप्तलोकत्रयं त्विषा ॥ १३ ॥

atulaṁ tatra tattejaḥ sarvadevaśharīrajam ekasthaṁ tadabhūnnārī vyāptalokatrayaṁ tviṣhā

Translation

That incomparable radiance, born from the bodies of all the gods, gathered in one place and became a woman, pervading the three worlds with her light.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

सब देवताओं के शरीरों से उत्पन्न वह अतुलनीय तेज एक जगह एकत्र होकर एक नारी बन गया, जो अपनी कांति से तीनों लोकों में व्याप्त थी।

Commentary

This is one of the most famous moments in Hindu literature: the combined power of the gods takes the form of a woman, the Devi. Divine power itself is feminine: Shakti.
