“In the thunderous clash of the fierce battle, Goddess Durga, radiant and unstoppable, rode her roaring lion into the heart of Mahishasur’s demonic legions. With each swing of her gleaming trishul and flashing sword, mountains of slain asuras fell; her divine weapons blazed like a thousand suns, and her war-cry shattered the sky. The earth trembled beneath her invincible might as she, the Supreme Shakti, slew the shape-shifting buffalo demon Mahishasur, proclaiming to all creation: ‘There is no force in the three worlds that can stand against the power of Durga!’”
(Devi Mahatmya, Markandeya Purana)
