In Chapter 12 Of The Holy Devi Mahatmya, Maa Durga Herself Makes Promises Of Blessings for Her devotees.
“The DevΔ« Said:”
βI Shall Without Doubt Destroy every misfortune of those who with collected mind will Praise Me always With These Hymns.”
“Those who recite The Destruction of madhu and kaitabha, The Killing Of mahishasura, and The Slaying Of shumbha and nishumbha”
“with singleness of mind on the eighth, fourteenth, and ninth days of the lunar fortnight, and those who listen with devotion To This Supreme Poem Of My Glory”
“will have no evil befall them, nor any misfortunes arising from wrongdoing. For them there will be neither poverty nor separation from loved ones,”
“nor danger from enemies, robbers, or kings. Nor at any time will danger arise from weapons, fire, or flood.”
– Chapter 12, Verses 1-6, The Devi Mahatmya
