MOTHER GODDESS CHANDI is the name by which the Supreme Goddess Durga is referred to in Devi Mahatmyam. Chandika or Chandi and Chamunda infer the violent and impetuous One, the fierce manifestation of Shakti, the symbol of feminine power. This epithet is literally unknown other then the mention in Markandeya Purana. The reasoning is this. Early Puranic works, the Ramayana and Mahabharata were Sanskrit works. Chandi as a deity belonged more to Bengal and South Indian tradition. In the the Southern tradition, Mother is referred to as Chandi Chamundi with a rural setting. Both Bengal and the South were powerhouses of the Shakta tradition following Mother Goddess worship. By the time of Markandeya Purana, Tantric sadhana had also taken off and Chandi had become a common epithet.
Durga is associated to the killing of several demons by taking the form of Chandi. As Singhavahini, Chandi rode on a lion, fought with Chanda and Munda. She has four arms. She drank the blood of the demon leaders and devoured a large part of their troops. Mahishamardini is the slayer of the demon Mahisha. She also slew demons as Shumbha and Nishumbha and attacked them in the frm of a buffalo. She had eight or according to some accounts, ten arms. There is little to distinguish the account of this form with that of Durga.
