Narayaneeyam

Narayaneeyam is divided into 100 Dasakams, most of which comprise ten shlokams (verses) each - with a few of them running into 11, 12 or 13 verses; the maximum number being 15 verses in Dasakam 4, and a solitary Dasakam (Dasakam 65) comprising 9 verses. The final verse of every Dasakam concludes with an invocation to the Lord of Guruvayur to cure him of all his illnesses and protect him from all afflictions and sorrows. In all, the Narayaneeyam consists of 1034 verses. Some versions include two extra verses at the end of Dasakam 45, making a total of 1036 verses.

The Narayaneeyam, a great Sanskrit epic, is a brilliant condensation in 1036 shlokams (stanzas) of the great epic Bhaagavatham composed by Sage Vyaasa. The theme of Narayaneeyam is based on the stories in Bhagavatham; it is, almost, an epitome of the great Purana. But unlike Vyasa, who has introduced in the first 'Skandha' itself, the speaker (Sree Suka Brahmarshi) and the listener (Emperor Pareekshith), the poet himself is the speaker in Narayaneeyam, who sings before the Lord Guruvayurappan, in a sublime tune about His glories and prays to Him to bless him to be cured of his disease.

Devi Mahatmyam during Navarathri Celebrations

 The Devi Mahatmyam describes a storied battle between good and evil, where the Devi manifesting as goddess Durga leads the forces of good against the demon Mahishasura—the goddess is very angry and ruthless, and the forces of good win.  In peaceful prosperous times, states the text, the Devi manifests as Lakshmi, empowering wealth creation and happiness. 

The  Devi Mahatmyam  or "Glory of the Goddess" is a text describing the Goddess as the supreme power and creator of the universe.   It is part of the Markandeya Purana, and estimated to have been composed in Sanskrit between 400-600 CE.^[

Devi Mahatmyam is also known as the Durgā Saptashatī . The text contains 700 verses arranged into thirteen  chapters. 

 The recitation of Devi Mahatmya is done during the Sharad Navaratri.
