Mantra · 21 verses to Parvati as Mahishasura's slayer, each on one refrain

Mahishasura Mardini Stotram

अयि गिरिनन्दिनि नन्दितमेदिनि विश्वविनोदिनि नन्दिनुते गिरिवरविन्ध्यशिरोधिनिवासिनि विष्णुविलासिनि जिष्णुनुते । भगवति हे शितिकण्ठकुटुम्बिनि भूरिकुटुम्बिनि भूरिकृते जय जय हे महिषासुरमर्दिनि रम्यकपर्दिनि शैलसुते ॥

Also known as Aigiri Nandini and Ayigiri Nandini

In Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and English — with the meaning of every word, and the one syllable most people pronounce wrongly.

What the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is

The Mahishasura Mardini Stotram, known everywhere by its opening words Aigiri Nandini, addresses the Goddess as Parvati, the daughter of the mountain, and as the slayer of the buffalo demon Mahishasura; each of its 21 verses closes on the same refrain, jaya jaya he mahishasuramardini ramyakapardini shailasute. Popular tradition names Adi Shankaracharya as the poet. Another recension disagrees: it prints these 21 verses as verses 7 to 27 of a 30-verse work, the Bhagavati Padya Pushpanjali Stotram, whose verse 29 names Ramakrishna Kavi as its composer, and it adds that part of the text also stands in the Shiva Rahasya, part 1, chapter 53. As a sequence, the verses open with her mountain homes on the Himalaya and the Vindhya, turn to battle in verses 4 to 8, move into the dance and drum syllables of verses 9 and 10, linger on a portrait of her beauty in verses 11 to 16, and end in personal appeals, the last addressed to Uma.

Every battle of the Devi Mahatmya, in brief

The hymn has no composition legend of its own. Its setting is borrowed: almost every name in its battle verses comes from the Devi Mahatmya, the 700-verse, 13-chapter section of the Markandeya Purana (chapters 81 to 93) that scholars place between about 400 and 600 CE. That text tells three episodes, and the stotram touches all of them. Verse 3 calls her the destroyer of Madhu and Kaitabha, the demons of the first episode. The second episode, the war with Mahishasura, gives the hymn its title and refrain. The third, the campaign against Shumbha and Nishumbha, is followed most closely: verse 4 names Chanda and Munda, and verse 7 says she reduced Dhumralochana and his smoky warriors to nothing with a single roar and dried up Raktabija along with the creepers of seeds that grew from his blood. Even the frame story appears. The Devi Mahatmya is told by the sage Medhas to a deposed king, Suratha, and a merchant, Samadhi; verse 17 remembers her as the goddess pleased by their devotion. The same verse reaches outside the Purana to call her mother of the son who won the war against the demon Taraka, so the poet treats the warrior Durga and Shiva's wife Parvati as one goddess throughout.

The syllable people get wrong

The popular name 'Aigiri Nandini' runs two words together: the hymn opens ayi girinandini, where ayi is a separate vocative 'O', said a-yi in two short syllables, before giri-nandini, 'daughter of the mountain'. Saying it as one word, 'eye-giri', swallows the call to the Goddess and breaks giri away from nandini.

When the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is chanted

Festival. Navaratri, when the Devi Mahatmya battles are recited

Questions

Popular tradition and many printed collections credit Adi Shankaracharya. A second view calls the Shankara attribution incorrect, because the hymn is not among his authenticated works; a longer recension prints the text inside the Bhagavati Padya Pushpanjali Stotram, whose verse 29 names Ramakrishna Kavi as the poet. No firm date is known, so this page reports both positions.

The full refrain, jaya jaya he mahishasuramardini ramyakapardini shailasute, means 'Victory, victory to you, slayer of Mahishasura, lovely one with braided hair, daughter of the mountain.' Kaparda is coiled or braided hair, and ramya means lovely. Shailasute, 'daughter of the mountain', repeats the idea of the opening word girinandini, so every verse ends by naming her as Parvati even after describing her in battle.

No. The Devi Mahatmya is a 700-verse narrative inside the Markandeya Purana. Aigiri Nandini is a separate hymn of praise that draws on its episodes: Madhu and Kaitabha in verse 3, Chanda and Munda in verse 4, Dhumralochana, Raktabija, Shumbha and Nishumbha in verse 7, and King Suratha and the merchant Samadhi in verse 17. It retells none of these stories at length; each appears as a single epithet of the Goddess.

The chanted form found in popular printed editions has 21 verses, each ending in the refrain, and no separate phala verse. Benefit statements sit inside it: verse 18 asks how one who worships her feet daily could fail to become a dwelling of Lakshmi, and verse 19 says that one who bathes her shrine floor from golden vessels will enjoy heaven. The full 30-verse Bhagavati Padya Pushpanjali adds three closing verses, one of them naming the poet.
