• Devi sending Lord Shiva as messenger: Then Shiva surrounded by the Shaktis said to Chandika: "Let the asuras be killed for my gratification". From the body of Chandika issued forth a terrible Shakti who told Shiva to go as messenger to Shumbha and Nishumbha. The demons should either go to Patala Loka or be ready for war. Since the Devi appointed Lord Shiva as messenger, She became known as Shiva-duti. The demons rejecting the proposal of the messenger to go to Patala Loka went towards Devi for war.
