वज्रपंजर नामैतत्स्तोत्रं दुर्गाप्रशंसनम् । एतत्स्तोत्रकृतत्राणे वज्रादपि भयं नहि
vajrapaṃjara nāmaitatstotraṃ durgāpraśaṃsanam | etatstotrakṛtatrāṇe vajrādapi bhayaṃ nahi
Diese Hymne, ein Lobpreis Durgās, heißt „Vajrapaṃjara“. Wer durch dieses Stotra beschützt ist, kennt keine Furcht — nicht einmal vor dem Donnerkeil (Vajra).
Durgā (Devī)
Tirtha: Vajrapañjara-stotra (Kāśī tradition)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devotee/practitioner; broader Kāśī audience within the Purāṇic dialogue frame
Scene: The hymn is formally named ‘Vajrapañjara’; a devotee under its protection stands fearless even before a descending thunderbolt, which dissolves into light at the boundary of Devī’s protective field.
Devotional protection is depicted as stronger than worldly threats, producing fearlessness through divine grace.
The teaching is preserved in the Kāśī Khaṇḍa corpus that glorifies Kāśī as a locus of liberating and protective dharma.
Using this Durgā-stotra as one’s trāṇa (protective safeguard).
