She adds that such people will not be troubled by enemies, thieves or kings and that they need not fear weapons, fire, and floods. It would also remove all forms of pestilence and problems arising from ghosts, devils, and natural disasters. By hearing the story of her greatness, during Sharad Navratri and Vasantha Navratri, all problems of her devotees would vanish. They would experience peace and protection from nightmares and the adverse effects of the planets. Such are the immense benefits of reading or listening to the Devi Mahatmyam, especially during Navratri.
