When Goddess Shatakshi assumed the form of a deity with hundreds of eyes, during the mythological era, there were beings known as gods and demons, between whom there was perpetual enmity. Periodically, several demons and demons were born who either troubled the deities or plunged the creation into a severe crisis.

Durgamasur was one such demon who, in order to plunge the creation into dire straits, sought a peculiar boon from Brahma. According to a story described in mythological texts, Durgamasur pleased Brahma through intense penance and asked for a boon, saying, "O Brahma Dev, grant me the knowledge of all the scriptures, mantras, and Vedas of the universe. And let all the knowledge of the Vedas that the Brahmins and sages possess be forgotten by them forever." Brahma had to grant Durgamasur this strange boon.
However, due to this boon of Durgamasur, all the Brahmins and sages on Earth forgot the Vedic knowledge, causing the worship of the deities to cease. When the rituals and worship of the deities ceased, the deities stopped receiving offerings. As a result, Indra, the king of the deities, could not make it rain, and a famine struck the earth. At that time, all the Brahmins and sages on Earth gathered and went to Kailash, where they praised and worshipped Goddess Bhagwati. Seeing the plight of all beings, Goddess Bhagwati was moved and assumed the form of Goddess Shatakshi.
A continuous stream of water began to flow from the hundreds of eyes of Goddess Shatakshi, bringing moisture to the earth. Subsequently, the barren land became fertile, suitable for the cultivation of crops. In the hands of Goddess Shatakshi were various types of vegetables and fruits, which is why she is also called Goddess Shakambari. The various forms taken by Goddess Bhagwati were assumed to protect the creation from crisis and establish food arrangements for all living beings. It was through the hands of this goddess that the end of Durgamasur also came to pass.

Pauranik kaal mein dev aur asur do aise prani hue jinme aapas mein hamesha se hi shatruta rahi. Samay-samay par kayi aise daanav aur asuron ka janm hua jinhone ya to devtaon ko pareshaan kiya ya phir srishti ko ghor sankat mein daala.
Durgamasur ek aisa hi asur tha jisne srishti ko ghor sankat mein daalne ke liye Brahma se ek vichitra tarah ka vardaan maang liya. Pauranik granthon mein varnit ek katha ke anusar Durgamasur ne ghor tap-sadhna karke Brahma ji ko prasann kiya aur unse vardaan maanga ki "Hey Brahma Dev, aap mujhe vardaan dein ki mujhe srishti ke sabhi dharm granthon, mantro aur Vedon ka gyaan ho jaaye. Aur aaj tak Brahmanon aur rishiyon ke paas jo bhi Ved gyaan hai vo unhein bhool jaaye."
Brahma ji ko Durgamasur ko ye vichitra vardaan dena hi pada. Lekin phir Durgamasur ke is vardaan ke karan hi dharti ke saare Brahman aur rishi Ved mantra bhool gaye jis karan devtaon ki pooja band ho gayi. Jab devtaon ki havan aur pooja band ho gayi to devtaon ko havishya milna band ho gaya. Is karan Devraj Indra jal ki varsha nahi kar paaye aur dharti mein charo or akaal pada gaya.
Tab dharti ke saare Brahman aur rishi milkar Kailash gaye aur vahan jaakar Devi Bhagwati ki stuti ki. Devi Bhagti sabhi manavon ki dasha dekh kar dravit ho uthi aur jiske baad Devi Bhagwati ne Devi Shatakshi ka roop dhaaran kiya. Devi ki saikaron netron se aviral jaldhara prabhavit hone lagi jisse dharti mein nami aa gayi aur phir dharti ki banjar bhoomi ann upajane ke layak ban gayi.
Devi Shatakshi ke haathon mein vibhinn prakar ke shaak sabzi aur fal the. Isi karan unhein Devi Shakambhari bhi kaha gaya. Devi Bhagwati ne srishti ko sankat se bachane ke liye hi in roopon ko dhaaran kiya tha jinhone sampurn praniyon ke liye bhojan ki vyavastha ki. Inhi Devi ke haathon Durgamasur ka bhi ant hua.A
