Durga saptashloki benefits2/13/2023 “sAvarNI” = “sA (i.e., she the pronoun denoting female)” + varNI (of that letter)” → In the Vedas and Upanishads the supreme brahman is more commonly referred by pronouns than any proper names. The answer is, this very first verse itself is a classic example of our rishi’s cryptography! Let’s decode it now to understand how geniusses were our rishis. What is this? Did mArkanDeya lie? How can he say he is narrating the story of “sAvarNI” manu and narrate the story of “Devi”? Mind boggling right? If you see, the devI-mAhAtmayaM begins with mArkanDeya saying that he would narrate a story about “sAvarNi sUrya tanayoashTama manuH” (meaning, the story of a Manu by name savarNi who was the eighth son of surya) but ends up telling the story of “Devi”.
