Since time immemorial she has been worshipped as the supreme power of the Supreme Being and has been mentioned in many scriptures - Yajur Veda, Vajasaneyi Samhita and Taittareya Brahman.Devi Durga stands on a lion in a fearless pose of "Abhay Mudra", signifying assurance of freedom from fear. The universal mother seems to be saying to all her devotees: "Surrender all actions and duties onto me and I shall release thee from all fears".The Meaning of "Durga"The word "Durga" in Sanskrit means a fort, or a place which is difficult to overrun. Another meaning of "Durga" is "Durgatinashini," which literally translates into "the one who eliminates sufferings."

These represent eight quadrants or ten directions in Hinduism. This suggests that she protects the devotees from all directions.Durga's Three EyesLike Shiva, Mother Durga is also referred to as "Triyambake" meaning the three eyed Goddess.
