This Sapta
Shloki Durga Stotra is in Sanskrit and it is told to Bhagwan Shiva by Durga
Mata herself. The Durga
Saptashloki Stotram is an alternate prayer for Durga Saptashati or Chandi
Path stotram.
Many Durga
devotees read Durga Sapta shati on many occasions in a year mostly during
Navratri Durga Puja. However all devotees can’t read it since it is very
difficult and is of 700 stanzas. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to complete it. So
for such devotees this Sapta Shloki Durga Stotra is an alternate. These 7
shlokas of the stotra are from Durga Sapta Shati only. They can recite this
stotra daily with faith, devotion and concentration and get blessings of Maa.

Shiva
asked Durga “tell me what your devotees should do to achieve success in their
endeavor easily and without any troubles?”

Durga Mata
told him that my devotees may worship me by reciting 7 shlokas with faith,
devotion and concentration. By doing this they will receive all my blessings
and will be successful in there every endeavor. Besides they will receive
wealth, health, good memory, knowledge, success, good family life and victory.
All their troubles, fear, sorrow and poverty will be removed from their life.
The 7
Sholaka are ---
ॐ ज्ञानिनामपि चेतांसि देवी भगवती हि सा ।
बलादाकृष्य मोहाय महामाया प्रयच्छति ॥१॥

It is the Divine
mother who spreads the veil of illusion over the hearts of even the wise men.

O Mother Durga!
You rob us of our fear when we contemplate you. You bestow wisdom on us. You
are the cosmic benefactress. Who else can remove our poverty, sorrow and fear?

Devi! Narayani!
You are the embodiment and Provider of Auspiciousness to one and all; You are
Shiva Swarupa or the Form of Propitiousness fulfilling all our wishes; You are
Traimbika or the composite personification of Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati;
we seek shelter from you, as we bend down and greet!

Our greetings to
You Narayani! Devi! We seek refuge and safety from You as we are helpless and
harassed.

Devi! You are the
all-comprehensive Form, the Supreme Sovereign, and the all- Powerful; kindly
shield us from diverse types of fears and apprehensions; our earnest
salutations to You, Durga Devi!
रोगानशेषानपहंसि तुष्टा,
रुष्टा तु कामान् सकलानभिष्टान् ।
त्वामाश्रितानां न विपन्नराणां,
त्वामाश्रितानां न विपन्नराणां,
त्वामाश्रिता ह्याश्रयतां प्रयान्ति ॥६॥

As You assume
compassion, all our diseases disappear; but if indignant, all our wishes get to
nought. Those who have already taken asylum from You would never face
difficulties any way; on the other hand, such persons saved by You could as
well provide protection to others too in their turn!

Mother, this is
our only prayer; may no one in all the worlds experience pain or sorrow. Save
us from our (inner) enemies.
Om Shree Durgaya Namah !
