I take refuge on Her Divine Grace Mother Duruga,
who is having eight pairs (or eight?) of hands wielding weapons Conch, Discus, Arrow, Trident,
who tormented and finished off the Demon Mahishaasura.
who manifests Divine Yogic powers,
who is born in the company of Fire, Jataveda
Note..
-------
there are two views in puranas about the number of hands of Durga... Some view it as eight, and others are of the view that it is eight pairs or sixteen.. Ashtau.. is dvivachanam.. should mean eight pairs or sixteen..
