''सर्वमङ्गलमङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते 

Sarva-Manggala-Manggalye Shive Sarvaartha-Saadhike 
Sharannye Tryambake Gauri Naaraayanni Namosthu The 

Oh! Salutations to you Devi Naaraayani!! who is personification of all auspiciousness and who is giver of refuge, one who has three eyes, very fair and beautiful.''

comes in this chapter. Also many other slokaas are very popular and lot of devotees chant this chapter every day. It is said  that the positive vibrations emanated by chanting the slokaas from this chapter and all verses of Devi Maahaathmyam will remove all negativity from our mind as well as our homes and surroundings. It is very auspicious to chant these slokaas when we move in to a new house or apartment to fill the atmosphere with positive vibrations of Aadi Parrashakthi. These divine vibrations will definitely remove any negativity accumulated over the time,  from inauspicious sound vibrations.

सर्वस्य बुद्धिरूपेण जनस्य हृदि संस्थिते
स्वर्गापवर्गदे देवि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते 

Sarvasya Buddhi-Roopenna Janasya Hrudi Samsthithe |
Svargaapavargade Devi Naaraayanni Namoshtuthe ||6||

शरणागतदीनार्तपरित्राणपरायणे
सर्वस्यार्तिहरे देवि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते 

Sharannaagathadeenaartha Parithraaana Paraayane

Sarvasyaartthi hare devi Naaraayani namosthuthe


Devaas extolled Her glories again and again and Devi was very pleased with their prayers and told them to ask for boons. Devaas with folded hands prayed again:

Sarva baadha prashamanam trailokyasyaakhileswari,

Evameva thwaya kaaryam asmad vairi vinaashanam.

सर्वबाधाप्रशमनं थ्रैलोक्यस्याखिलेष्वरी 

एवमेव त्वया कार्यं अस्मद् वैरि विनाशनं 

Hey Goddess of all the three worlds!! please remove all the afflictions of all the three worlds and destroy our enemies

Devi told Devaas that in the twenty eighth chathuryuga of Vaivaswatha mananthara,  another Sumbha and Nisumbha would take birth on earth. At the same time, She would also take birth in Vrindavanam as the daughter of Nandagopar and Yasoda Devi known as Bhagavan's YOgamaaya and would kill manyl Asuraas. Then again she would manifest  as Rakhthadanthika (one with red teeth) to kill Viprachitthas. By that time earth will experience severe drought and responding to the prayers of sages and devotees, She would manifest as Shathaakshi (one with hundred eyes) to alleviate their suffering.  She would be also known as Shaakambari. She would eliminate another ASura Durgaman and would be known as Durga Devi. Then in the form of Bheemadevi, she would destroy all the Asuraas in Himalya valleys to protect all the great sages doing penance there. And she would take her most strange manifestation as a beetle colony and would go after Asura called Aruna to destory him. Because of this beetle form of manifestation, she would be also known as Bhraamari Devi (Bhramaram is beetle). Thus she promised Devaas that when ever great sages and good people suffer in this world, she would manifest in appropriate forms to annihilate the bad elements of the society to establish peace and harmony. 

Thus assuring the protection of all good people, finally Devi disappeared and Devaas and sages extolled Her glories again and again!

Nest two chapters, thirteen and fourteen explains the greatness of DEvi Maahaathmyam and how it prevents  negative thoughts and actions and how effective the chanting of Devi Mahaathmyam in bringing peace and harmony.
