Mahishasura Mardini Ashtotharam

 Translated by 
P.R,Ramachander

(Mahishasura  Mardhini   is the furious form that the Goddess SAkthi to kill the great  Asura called Mahishasura . This story is  described in the chapers of  two  and three of  the great nobook Devi Mahathmya. (my translation can be seen in http://stotraratna.sathyasaibababrotherhood.org/pm1.htm
).Indra fought with Mahishasura who was   the son of sage Sindhu dheepa and Mahishmathi  who had a form of a buffalo. In spite of fighting for 100 years Indra could not win and the devas approached  Lord, Brahma , Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Then the power of all the devas and gods came out of their body , joined and  took the shape similar to fire ball  and stood before them.Later it took the form of a lady Goddess  .That goddess was armed by all the devas and Gods , rode on a lion and fought   with  the Mahishasura   and killed him. Then all the devas sang a prayer addressed to her and she assured them that   she would kill all their enemies in  future. She is worshipped in many places in India and Nepal.)

Sir, It is very admirable that we get many hymns and chants on this page. If possible please add the original text in Sanskrit in Devanagari or IAST script so as to facilitate the exact phonetic mode to repeat these texts correctly.
Regards.
