Description: The Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptasati) 700 slokas on Sri Durga.  Presented in transliterated Sanskrit followed by English translation.  

The Devi Mahatmyam or Devi Mahatmya, or "Glory of the Goddess," is a Hindu religious text describing the victory of the Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. As part of the Markandeya Purana, it is one of the Puranas or secondary Hindu scriptures. It was composed in Sanskrit around 400–500 CE, with authorship attributed to the sage (Rishi) Markandeya.

Devi Mahatmyam is also known as the Durg Saptashati or simply Saptashati, Candi or Candi Patha. The text contains 700 verses, arranged into 13 chapters. By far one of the most important texts of Shaktism ("doctrine of the Goddess"), the text has a central place in Shakta ritual.
