Candi or Candiika is the name by which the Supreme Goddess is referred to in Devi Mahatmya.
According to Coburn, "Candiika is " the violent and impetuous one". In the light of the primacy of this
designation of the goddess, it is striking that the word Candika has virtually no earlier history in Sanskrit.
There are no instances of its occurrence in the Vedic literature we have surveyed. The epics are similarly
barren: neither the Ramayana nor the Mahabharata give evidence of the epithet, although in one of the
hymns inserted in the latterCanda and Candi are applied to the deity they praised."
The designation of Chandi or Chandika is used twenty-nine times in the Devi Mahatmya, which is agreed
by many scholars to have had originated in Bengal, the primary seat of the Shakta or Goddess tradition
and tantric sadhana since ancient times. It is the most common epithet used for the Goddess. In Devi
Mahatmya, Chandi, Chandika, Ambika and Durga have been used synonymously.
