The
conceited Mahishasura established his kingdom and started war
against gods after consolidating his position. Gods were caught and
subjected to unfold suffering. Their misery scaled new heights -
they never breathed in peace-constant threats and unbearable
punishments day in and day out. Devendra too tasted misery, though
it was less in degree, the innocent hermits and peace- loving people
were affected most. His cruelty crossed all bounds and he
created another hell, as it were down on earth itself. Mother Earth
unable
to endure the danavakrityas wailed and went on deputation to the
Trimurthis along with the victims- both, gods and humans. Her
heart-rending lamentations stirred him. At once they create a
goddess and named Devi. And she was a ravishing her beauty. They
invested her with invincible power by giving their amsas, as their
combined strength would floor Mahishasura. The petitioners departed,
anticipating relief soon.
