Chandi or Sri Sri Chandi is another holy script in Hinduism. It is also
written in Sanskrit language. To Hindu religious people, this book is
popular one. This book is also known as 'Shaptashati' or
'Durgashaptashati' (Shaptashati means seven hundred). It contains near
about 700 verses but there are controversies about the number of verses.
There is a custom to add an extra verse while reciting Sri Sri Chandi.
Chandi is actually part of 'Markandey Puran'.
In Markandey Puran, from chaptar 89 to 93, 'Devi Mahatmya' is described. In Bengal this part is known as Sri Sri Chandi. This Devi Mahatmya is also described in Devibhagbat, Brahmabaibarta Puran, Ramayan etc. Chandi has many annotation. Among these 'Vaskar's' annotation is famous. Vaskar's annotation is named as 'Guptabati.' Guptabati was revealed probably in 1741.
The word Chandi is derived from the word 'Chanda'. Chanda means extremely angry. Chandi is feminine gender of chanda that means extremely angry women. Actually how the Goddess appeared to kill demons in order to save God in different period of time is described in the three chapters of Sri Sri Chandi.
