Sanskrit Shloka on Goddess Chandraghanta Circulated by Prime Minister

Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a traditional Sanskrit verse on X, extolling the divine qualities of Goddess Chandraghanta. He explained that the hymn declares the goddess as the "eternal Vaishnavi power" that underpins the whole universe. According to the chant, her pleasure paves the way for moksha, freeing every living being from worldly bondage. The verse belongs to the Narayani Stuti, a devotional section celebrating the goddess’s victory over the demons Shumba and Nishumba. The description underscores Chandraghanta’s ten‑armed form, adorned with a sword, bow, and other armaments, and her lion vehicle, representing bravery, protection and the annihilation of darkness.
