Durga on a tiger

Synopsis

The 108 sacred names of Goddess Durgā presented on this page originate from the ancient and revered Devī Mahātmya, also known as the Durga Saptashati or Candi Pāṭha. This powerful text forms part of the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa (Chapters 81–93) and is one of the most important scriptures in the Śākta tradition, glorifying the Divine Mother’s role as the protector, creator, and liberator. Among its many hymns, the Devī Kavacam — “The Armour of the Goddess” — offers a beautiful sequence of her names, such as Satī, Sādhvī, Bhavānī, and Āryā, each revealing her various powers and aspects.

In the Devī Kavacam, the Goddess is praised as the beloved of Śiva (Bhavaprītā), the one who liberates from the cycle of birth and death (Bhavamocinī), and the primordial creative force of the cosmos (Ādyā). These names are not arbitrary; they are deeply rooted in Purāṇic theology and devotional traditions that portray Durgā as both the supreme cosmic energy (Mahāśakti) and the intimate protector of her devotees. Chanting or meditating upon these names is said to invoke her blessings for protection, liberation, wisdom, and victory over all obstacles.
