The Story of the Asura Mahishasura and his destruction by Durga Devi is the main content of this verse. I have recounted the story and also explained the symbolism behind this apparently simple story.
About Argala Stotram:
Dedicated to the Mother Goddess Durga, Argala Stotram is a powerful Chant. It praises the Devi Who defeats and destroys all the Asuras and Who as the Protector, takes care of All Creation. It is also a stotram which appeals to the Universal Mother to sustain and bestow us with all Her bounty; to grant us good health and form, wealth and success; and to guide us spiritually. It is a powerful stotram which can rid us of all negative influences from the outside worlds as well as rid us of the negative tendencies within us, while enhancing our virtues. It can also make us strong and fearless. This can be chanted by all, as it is a prayer to the Mother Goddess.
