A देवी . Vedas and Vedavids alike praise this goddess who is always interested in granting the requests of her devotees. Because she showers prosperity on her devotees she became known as मङ्गलचण्डिका . There is another version that she got the name because she was worshipped by मङ्गल (Kuja) and because she grants the requests of मङ्गल . Yet another version is that she got the name because she was worshipped by the King मङ्गल chief of the seven islands. Born of the species of दुर्गादेवी she is very kind and affectionate to her devotees. परमशिव worshipped this देवी before he went to destroy the demon-trio त्रिपुरस् . (9th Skandha, Devī Bhāgavata) .
