At one time the terror of demons increased greatly. Their terror created an uproar all around. The demons defeated Indra, the king of the gods, and took his heavenly abode under their control and also started taking the share of the yagya of the gods themselves. In such a situation, the gods, deeply troubled and saddened by the atrocities of demon king Mahishasura, thought of a solution to this problem and went to Brahmadev, the creator of the universe. Hearing all the pain of the gods, Lord Brahma saw the past of the demon king with his divine vision and told the gods that only a virgin girl could kill this extremely terrible demon. Hearing all this, all the gods along with Brahmadev, Mahadev and Vishnu reached Lord Vishnu.
When all the gods told the reason for their distress to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, then suddenly their eyebrows got raised in anger and the divine supernatural radiance of both of them appeared and merged into each other. After this, the radiance of all the gods also became one. One by one they started getting absorbed in that supernatural divine beam of light.
Mother's face was created by the divine glory of Devadhidev Mahadev, while Mother's powerful arms were created by the glory of Lord Hari Vishnu, the sustainer of this world. Both the feet of the mother appeared due to the glory of the creator Brahma ji. Mother's beautiful hair appeared due to the glory of Yamraj, the god of death, whereas breasts appeared in Mother due to the glory of Chandradev, the aura of the night. Mother's waist became the state due to the glory of Devraj Indra. Mother's thigh was formed by the glory of Varundev, buttocks were formed by the glory of the earth and the toes of both the feet of Mother were formed from the folds of Piri Surya. Due to the glory of Prajapati, all the teeth of the mother appeared, while due to the glory of Agnidev, both the eyes of the mother appeared. Mother's eyebrows were born from the brightness of the evening and mother's ears were born from the brightness of the wind. Ears were formed due to the power of wind and different parts of the goddess were formed due to the power of other gods.
As soon as Maa Durga was born, all the gods together gave many beautiful weapons to Goddess Bhagwati in the form of Shakti to conquer the demons. Lord Shiva took out a prong from his trident and offered it to Mother Goddess, while Lord Vishnu presented a chakra. Devraj Indra gave Mother a thunderbolt, Varun gave a conch, Agni gave power and Vayu gave a quiver full of arrows to Mother. Yamraj presented Kaaldanda to Mother and Prajapati presented a garland of crystal beads to Mother.

Vishwakarma presented a divine ax to the mother and also offered many impenetrable weapons and armor to the mother.
