108 NAMES OF DURGA

Yes, there is a sacred text called “Durga Saptashati” or “Devi Mahatmya” that contains the 108 names of Goddess Durga. It is a significant scripture in Hinduism dedicated to the glory and power of the Goddess. The text is a part of the Markandeya Purana and consists of 700 verses divided into three sections known as Charitras. Each section narrates the exploits and manifestations of Goddess Durga, emphasizing her divine qualities and attributes.

While the Durga Saptashati does not explicitly list the 108 names of Durga in a single sequence, it describes various forms and aspects of the Goddess throughout the text. Devotees often recite different names of Durga as a way to invoke her blessings and connect with her divine energy.

It’s important to note that there may be variations in the names and their order depending on different regional traditions and interpretations. The significance and power of the 108 names lie in their collective representation of the multifaceted nature of Goddess Durga.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. While the Durga Saptashati contains various hymns and descriptions of Goddess Durga, it does not specifically list 108 names of Durga in a single sequence. However, there are other texts like the “Durga Ashtottara Shatanamavali” (108 names of Durga) that provide a compilation of 108 names dedicated to the Goddess.
